Despite it only being the first week for the new Web site, several new features are already available for visitors.

1) Before You Go - This Web-only video newscast appears on the homepage every weekday from about 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Anchor Heather Hays gives you a quick and informal run down of the day's news, traffic and weather before you go home. Don't miss it each day!

2) Health and Weather Almanac - Per your requests, this feature on the right hand rail of the Weather page has the day's weather almanac information. It includes records, a pollen count, rainfall information and more.

3) Find It Here - Confused as how to find your favorite segment? Always look for the Find It Here button for easy access to segments such as Deal or Dud, Viewer's Voice and Good Day.

4) Good Day Information - Missed a recipe yesterday morning? Look at the very bottom of the Good Day page for a button called Good Day Information. It's your source for anything you missed on Good Day.

Man, you guys rock! This website is fantastic. I hope your ratings soar as a result!! I must admit I always preferred wfaa's website when it came to quick online checks of the weather(like the county by county radar options), but I think I will park it here from now on for on line news.

Great job Yall!!

Have to agree with you, news business should be about the community and Fox 4 News has got it right! This web page and this news station is all about community! I am just happy to get to be a part of it and to get to see this grow

I also think different categories for the blog posts should be added...like Custom categories.

Love the new website and I am on here daily. My boyfriend is in Europe for business for the whole monthm and I like to check on the International tab to see what is going on. However, I see more local news than International news under that tab. Isn't the point of clicking the International tab to see ONLY International news? First you see one heading for International news, then beneath that, there is Local and National news links. It is like the International news is being somewhat hidden. It is off to the far right instead of the center where it would make more sense. It is like this on each tab you click wether it is the International, National, or Local News tabs.
I like the convenient large tabs at the top of the page and the specific smaller tabs to the left. But isn't the point of these tabs to get you straight to what you wish to read and look at?

Shellgoolsby: The site was designed to tease stories from other sections on most main pages. The best way to see a full list of international stories is to look for "View More International Stories" link. You can find this on the right-hand side of the International main page or on the bottom right-hand side of the News main page. There should be nearly 30 international stories of the day there. Hope this helps.
