Updated —The Citizen is moving next week . . . to our new website, and we want to invite you to take a pre-launch tour. Click here to go to the new site.

The new site is scheduled to go live this weekend and officially be open for business Monday, March 1.

It's not fully functional yet, and we still have to import our current registered users over to the new site to allow comments, blogs and forum postings.

So visitors won't be able to sign up or log in to post comments yet; that happens next week. If all goes well, current registered users on this site will be able to seamlessly log in on the new site with the same user names and passwords as now.

So, at this point, it's like a new house with some wet paint signs still up, unpacked boxes still on the floors and windows without drapes. But you can look all you like.

We know you likely will have some ideas and opinions about the new site (especially versus the "old" site), so use our commenting feature on this site to give us feedback, or send an email to [email protected].

Beginning next week, this "old" site -- with all the comments, blogs and forum posts and news -- will become the "archive," and can be accessed [Correction] from the new site and searched within the old site.

Thanks for your participation, and have fun on your tour.
