Day 2 of the new LifeSiteNews and improvements continue to be made. Our apologies for not sending out yesterday’s news until late this morning. There were more technical hurdles to overcome than expected. The website design and development team from Transmodern Media have been incredible and very quick to resolve problems. Readers are telling us they are amazed by the new website. “Wow!” is a common comment. We really appreciate the positive feedback, as well as the very helpful messages reporting problems that inevitably accompany the launch of such a dramatically improved website and emails. Thank you for communicating! It’s great to see the comments readers are adding at the bottom of the LSN stories. Keep them coming. It’s your opportunity to add your insights and additional information. It appears that the link to the website in yesterday’s email did not take readers to a normal page. Let’s try that again. Click here to see the new website, if you have not already visited it. The “Print Article” format has been greatly improved since yesterday. View and Print “all stories on one page” is being fixed to present only the stories from the current date. I realize of course that all this technical stuff is not why you read LifeSiteNews. And today’s news again highlights the need for our service. Hilary White’s report on L’Osservatore Romano’s reckless leak of the Pope’s comments regarding the use of condoms is an astonishing read. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has never been one to shy away from frank comments on crucial issues. Peter Smith’s report on Scalia’s talk last week in Richmond, Virginia is a must read. I have often referred to “Looney England,” but now Canada is rapidly becoming deserving of the same label. Read on and become armed with the truth. PLEASE tell others about the new LifeSiteNews. Many will be glad you did.. Steve Jalsevac Managing Director LifeSiteNews.com
