A redesigned dailyfreeman.com is only days away.

Editors are going through the paces, learning how to post stories, photos and other features to the site. Advertising and production folks also are gearing up.

We hope you'll find the new site cleaner and easier to navigate. You'll also see seven days of content per section, making it easier for you to find a story you may have missed. There'll be an easier-to-use reader comment feature, as well as convenient reader tools allowing you to share stories via e-mail or your favorite social networking sites. And, of course, there'll be free, searchable archives.

When you get to our new site, don't forget to bookmark it again. Due to the upgrades, you'll want to make sure you're properly linked to the right place.

Finally, let us know if you have problems and/or see mistakes. Launching a new site is complex. Technical and/or content issues probably will arise. We appreciate your patience.
