Unwrapping some new features at DailyMe

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

At this time of year, it’s typical that you decorate your house and make it look good for the holidays. We’ve been doing a lot of sprucing up at DailyMe, too. Among the changes you’ll find:

• New “front pages” for your personalized DailyMe section and the community-driven DailyWe sections. Users told us they wanted to see a snapshot of all their personalized news categories on one page, so we brought them together in the new DailyMe front page . Similarly, the DailyWe front page rounds up the most popular news items by views and by Meme-It emotion.

• A new Opinion section that rounds up our editor’s picks from among the editorials and columns we get from top newspapers and other sources.

• Revamped political coverage for the post-election period, offering news on the transition in a new Presidency section and updates on congressional activity in our Capitol Hill section .

• A special page on the troubled auto industry in our Money section to wrap up developments.

• A facelift on all our section pages to increase the readability of headlines and summaries.

And don’t forget to check out the Holidays page in our Lifestyles section for a sleigh full of recipes, tips and advice on surviving the season.

Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!

News with All the Trimmings

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

The DailyMe editors usually devote most of our attention to our bread and butter – the top news and events of the day. But even we occasionally break to enjoy something other than bread and butter. Our latest foray into something more savory is our Holidays page in our Lifestyles section. While we created the page for Halloween, it’s really taken off with the approach of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

You’ll find a delicious mix of stories from leading newspapers on the page, giving you holiday travel advice, decorating tips, recipes and more. Don’t forget to check out the videos, where you can see tips for picking the right wine for Thanksgiving or keeping down costs as you entertain. Bon appetit!

In case you didn’t notice, we’ve added a couple of other new sections as well. Our Opinion page carries a selection of editorials and columns from top newspapers. With the election behind us, we’ve revamped our Politics section to provide coverage of the transition in our The Presidency section and a closer look at what Congress is doing in our Capitol Hill section.
