If you haven't been to our website recently, you may be surprised to find it has a new look and feel complete with many new features. We're very excited about the changes which include "blogs" from community members and officials and a special "speak out" section.

The speak out section can be found under our blog section. It is divided into topic areas where website users can comment about everything ranging from community events to local sports and politics. It also has a place to connect with old classmates or talk about general issues.

Another new feature of our website is an e-mail signup list where you can submit your e-mail address to receive an e-mail anytime we upload new stories to our website. We upload stories throughout the week as news happens.

One of my favorite new features of the website is our poll. You can check several times a week for new poll questions and results on our main page. We feature a variety of polls ranging from what local place serves your favorite cheeseburger to what political candidate will win a local election.

We hope you'll take the time to log onto our website at www.trumanndemocat.com and register for an account. It is free and only takes a few minutes. Once you have your own unique user name and password you'll be able to comment on stories, blogs and voice your opinions in our speak out section.

We hope you'll stop by and say hi!
