Editorial | Welcome to our expanded web

If you have visited our website (www.bellevuereporter.com) recently, you have noticed some changes. The Bellevue Reporter has dramatically increased the content on the site to make it faster and easier for you to keep up on Bellevue news.

We place information in a variety of handy categories: news, entertainment, sports, lifestyles, business, etc. There’s also a handy search function to help you find the information you want and need.

This added push of material onto our web site isn’t surprising. Not only can we post information shortly after it happens, but also we don’t face the constraints of the printed product in terms of how many pages of newspaper we can produce and a twice-a-week printing schedule.

We aren’t promoting one at the expense of the other. Both play a part in delivering news and advertising to you. But the plus for the web is the sheer amount of information we can deliver to you.

Like comics? There are many of them on our web.

Are you a puzzle fan? We have Sudoku and more to test your skills.

Keep track of your horoscope? It’s there, too, along with a Chinese Zodiac.

You even can check the latest lottery numbers. And there’s a weather report from AccuWeather, complete with a five-day forecast.

Why all this material?

We want you to find what you want at bellevuereporter.com and come back each day to check out what’s new.

In the near future, we’ll offer a online photo gallery where you can purchase Bellevue Reporter photos for your own use in a quick and convenient service.

As much as we appreciate you reading our newspaper twice a week, we hope you will find that visiting www.bellevuereporter.com more often during the week helps you to be better informed.

You’ll also find our site a convenient way to check out news in nearby communities served by other Reporter Newspapers. Just look for the “community papers: link at the bottom of the page.

There’s even more on the horizon. We’ll be back with details in the near future.
