The Lakeville Journal has upgraded its website and given it a new name. It is no longer online at www.tcextra.com. The new web address is www.tricornernews.com.The site was designed by Lakeville Journal Co. Production Coordinator James Clark and was built and is maintained by Surf New Media in Saco, Maine.Photos are now included with articles and each of the pages was designed to increase ease of use. All content from www.tcextra.com (which goes back to 2006) will be available at the new site.“We’ve rebuilt the entire site with flexibility and ease of use in mind,” Clark said. “We’re now able to tweak and add features as the need arises. And, features, such as the search function that worked intermittently are now tightly integrated, offering a much better experience.”“We’re happy to be able to offer a more complete website for our readers,” said Publisher Janet Manko. “It will continue to evolve, of course, and, we hope, improve. We will welcome input from our readers on the new site, which will eventually be subscription-based.”The new site was launched to coincide with the May 19 and 20 issues of The Lakeville Journal, Millerton News and Winsted Journal.
