As some of you might have noticed, we’ve redesigned our print version of the paper and we’re also trying to push our paper towards a different direction.
Unfortunately however, our website’s “style” and “look” doesn’t really gel with our print publication that much. Our website has a more modern direction to it and a dominant “red” color whereas our paper has moved towards a slightly older font style with a clean white and black feel.
Naturally, the website is going to have to change as well. Unfortunately, the website is pretty much a two-man team of Michael Runyon and myself (Kai Teoh).

The Chronicle’s website has been up and running for close to two months now. Throughout the past month or so, we’ve worked really hard at making the website work, to have the website be an enjoyable and pleasant experience for our readers.

This is the point where I throw away the “we” and just go “I”, because it’s Kai here that’s writing this. While it may seem a little unprofessional, the newspaper business is a people business, and I’ve personally always disliked business talk.

Hi and welcome – again – to the University Chronicle’s new website.
The Chronicle staffers (known within some circles as the “Chronnies”) have labored long and hard to bring you (our beloved readers) more and more features to the website!
A quick review:
- Sharing across different platforms (Digg, Twitter, Delicio.us, Buzz, Facebook etc)
- Revamped registration process (it’s much easier now)
- Comment subscription and comment rating system
- Better Facebook integration
- Writer profiles and proper attribution
We are still hard at work to bring more features to the new website. Suggestions are welcome and can be made in the form of comments or emails to us.

Hi and welcome to University Chronicle’s new website.
This website is currently still under construction but from Fall 2010 onwards it will slowly replace “www.universitychronicle.com.” The archived prior to Fall 2010 will still be saved at “www.universitychronicle.com” but daily and weekly updates will be made here.

This website is currently being built, run and managed by the University Chronicle staff. Any suggestions, comments or tips are welcome and can be made through the “Email Us” link, through here or by directly contacting Kai Teoh and/or Michael Runyon.
