"Meanwhile, the news stories you’ve gotten used to seeing at this site can be found at newsday.com/huntingtonnews..."
We've gotten used to it and preferred it. Now we have to click an additional link?? If it ain't broke, why create an additional page..
I'll get used to the 2 different areas to visit but it doesn't look like the "police blotter" will be around. Is that feature going to be dropped?
To Anonymous: The switch allows us to bring you many more features that weren't possible under the old set up. If you want to start off at the HuntingtonNews page, there's a link to the blog if that is easier for you.
To Rich: The police blotter is still around. Look under Huntington Extras section and you find a link for local crimes. It's there.
Enjoy.

Tim: I think you have done a great job so far. To be honest, I prefer the simple interface with this format and similarly when it was hosted on blogger. All the information is presented to the audience without multiple clicks or an abundance of extraneous data (ad$, other links).
Just a little feedback from your readers...
Thanks again

Thanks for the "Crimes near you" pointer, I like to start the day off with the obits and the local police blotter.
Thanks for your efforts and have a happy new year.
Hi, Tim:
Just thought folks would like to know this: The East Northport Blockbuster, on the corner of Jericho and Elwood Road, is closing in about a week. Signs on the door direct customers to Blockbuster outlets in Huntington and Commack
