If you look closely, you'll see changes in the Post

A number of readers have noticed some changes going on with the appearance of the Post in the past couple of weeks. That's the result of the newsroom converting to a new computer system much anticipated by the staff.
In addition to being more efficient at producing the newspaper, our new system, once up and running fully, will allow us to update the Web more quickly, allowing you faster access to breaking news.
For the newspaper, we've changed the typeface of our content but, contrary to what some of you have suggested, it is not smaller than used previously. In fact, it's the same.
We've had a few glitches with the reproduction of the comics, but we think we've got that nailed. We're also working to be sure all the day's pages are available to e-subscribers.
As with anything new, there are bugs to be worked out and the staff is working hard to master the mechanics of new software and hardware. If you see something that doesn't look right to you -- or if you have questions -- feel free to contact me at ttompkins@ctpost.com
