Here is what our readers should know about the new DanvilleExpress.com:

* It will continue the features of our current DanvilleWeekly.com that so many readers have already discovered.

* News will be reported five days a week and updated as it happens.

* We will have the ability to cover breaking news.

* We will still welcome information and photos that you send in or call in.

* We will have blogs from the editor (Diablo Views); as well as our Art Space on the art scene; Epicure with all the latest food fads and recipes; and the Teen Wire.

* We have more than 80 “Take Us Along” photos, so we will post those online, one by one that did not run, in a prominent position.

* We will also run sports team photos that we have received in the past few weeks, as well as the high school sports schedules. And our IT department is working on a format that allows parents to post these pictures themselves along with scores and comments on the game.

* Our Town Square Forum is popular. As one person commented, it is so easy to read a story online and comment on it then and there. Check it out on the left side of the homepage.

* Forget Fandango – check out DanvilleExpress.com for local movie times and movie reviews.

* Want to publicize your event? Our handy Community Calendar section will still be online, to add your own happenings and to learn about those of other groups.

* Current temperatures are on display, with a click for the weather forecast.

* You can search our website or the entire World Wide Web from our homepage.

* The archives from the print editions of the Danville Weekly will remain online to research old stories or to print old layouts.

* This is what we’ll start with but we will not limit ourselves. Who knows what the future will bring?
