We added a new blog and upgraded our weather information over the weekend. Both additions should be really helpful for online readers with South Sound ties and/or interests.

We're a little late to the game with our politics blog, Political Buzz, but that doesn't mean we won't be able to break a lot of news and cover local, state and national politics from a South Sound perspective better than anyone else. (That's our goal, anyway.)

And our weather page makeover now includes data from Weather Underground, which significantly increases the amount and types of information featured on the page. My favorite is the hour--by-hour detail (which you can find by clicking "Hour by hour" in the five-day forecast). It tells not if it's going to rain tomorrow, but when. The personal weather stations on a Google map are pretty cool, too.
