Question: Why change?

A: This is the first major redesign of CentreDaily.com in several years. Our main goal has been to produce a site that is less cluttered and easier to use, while still providing all the information you expect to find. You should immediately notice that the speed of the site has improved.

Q: Am I going to get used to this only to have you change it again?

A: This is version 1.0 of our new site and we do expect to add several features and enhancements over the next several weeks and months. But the look and feel of the site will basically remain the same.

Q: Will I need to register again?

A: No. Your existing username and password have been carried over to the new site.

Q: Where is the best place to find breaking news?

A: Check just beneath the main photo and story on the home page for latest news. You can also find news from your favorite section by going to that section.

Q: Where are the obituaries?

A: You can find a link to" Obits" in the blue bar near the top of the site.

Q. What are the primary sections of this new site?

The site map is a complete listing of sections and pages on the site.
