So here it is, the new — and hopefully improved — Maroon Online.

To better serve our readers, we’ve been working with College Publisher, our online host, to revamp the look of the Web site and add new features. The new features will help us expand our online presence. Previously the Web site was just an online version of the paper. It will still remain that way, but there will now be other reasons to visit the site.

Right now the site is a work in progress. We’ll be adding more blogs in the coming weeks, a better calendar, Web-exclusive stories, more multimedia and more. Already, we’ve started setting up comment boards on stories as a means to open up dialogue on issues affecting the campus.

We want the Web site to be as good as its print counterpart. As technology expands, we’ll expand with it to provide both a print and online edition Loyola can be proud of.

If you’d like to comment on the changes, feel free to get in touch with me at [email protected].

Thanks for reading.
