Over the past six months or so, we've been gradually improving our homepage and other pages. We've added headlines under "latest news" to keep you better informed. We've added a features box so that you can get to movies, music and food stories more quickly.

On Friday, we'll launch a few more changes. We'll center the search bar under the navigation. Right below the search bar, we are adding some quick links to help you get to important sections inside the web site. In order to do this, we've moved the member login information to the top left of the page. How you login doesn't change.

We hope you like these changes - come back to IdahoStatesman.com on Friday and see what you think!
