Oak Ridge Today adds 2012 election section
Oak Ridge Today has added a 2012 election section, hoping to keep voters informed about the candidates and campaign issues. Think of it as our version of a voter’s guide.
The section can be accessed by clicking on the 2012 Election link in the navigation bar at the top of every page.
Please let us know if there are features you’d like to see, or particular election-year stories you’d like us to cover.

If you have a guest column you’d like to submit, please send it to news@oakridgetoday.com.
It’s been a great week for Oak Ridge Today
It’s been a great week for Oak Ridge Today. We posted our first two advertisements, had our first 1,000-view day, and passed 10,000 views total since our launch on March 29.
We have added an opinion section; this is our first post in that section.
Oak Ridge Today switches to new layout
We changed the layout of our website early this morning.
The new wider layout provides more information closer to the top of the screen, meaning you shouldn’t have to scroll down as far to read the most recent stories, especially on the home page.
It also keeps our site mobile-friendly, and it gives us a wider sidebar, making it easier to add advertisements.
Content categories on Oak Ridge Today have changed
We have changed the content categories on Oak Ridge Today to better organize our information. The only obvious difference is in the navigation bar.
The News button is still there, but we have added a drop-down menu that includes subcategories such as Government and U.S. Department of Energy.
