Readers haven't actually asked that question yet, but I figured I'd mention this anyway:
We're having technical difficulties with the box at the top of our home page called "Latest from the wire." When it's operating properly, it's updated every 15 minutes. However, something broke and as a result we have two-week-old stories about the stock market and Sarah Palin residing in that spot.
Unfortunately, we can't fix it in-house. That piece of our Web site is controlled by a McClatchy office in Raleigh, N.C., (my hometown; go Wolfpack!). We've submitted a work order to have it fixed, but it's unclear how long that will take.
Update: A web tech in Raleigh responded. I have no idea what she's talking about (her e-mail reads like something out of "Dilbert"), but I gather they found a bug and hope to have it fixed Thursday or Friday.
