TheGazette.com adds features section

TheGazette.com has become livelier this weekend as a place to be informed and entertained, thanks to the addition of an entire features section on the site.

It may be hard to believe but TheGazette.com has not had a features section. Sure, we've had Milestones and our HooplaNow.com sites, but not a rich variety of stories on other topics dealing with your lifestyles, such as your health or nutrition. We have been revamping the web site for a while and see a strong interest in this kind of information.

We have added to the TheGazette.com a large amount of stories, information and photos for health, food, people and places, fashion and home, with emphasis on the Eastern Iowa area we cover. We've tossed this information in, along with Milestones and a link to the HooplaNow.com “things to do” web site, for a page called “Life & Accent.”

From TheGazette.com's main page you can find the features by going to the main navigation bar at the top of the page and clicking “life.” Or, you can go directly to http://TheGazette.com/life.

You will find stories by our Gazette writers, plus easy links to blogs by Gazette columnist Dave Rasdal and gardening, green technology and "Homegrown" writer Cindy Hadish. Some early bugs have existed for getting the link to Cindy's blog but directions exist to get you there. We already are planning more interesting twists for the page in the near future, but wanted to get this fine writing online first so that it can be shared.

Let us know what you'd like to see on the site.
