Local newspaper chain begins to do something about its godawful Web sites

The Independent Newspaper Group, which owns weekly newspapers from East Boston north to Lynn, is converting its old Web sites, which featured, well, not very much, to WordPress - which means RSS feeds, search boxes and even comments on articles. Compare the new Revere Journal site to the still old East Boston Times site. The Revere Journal even has a Twitter feed.

They also own the Beacon Hill Times, Back Bay Sun, North End Regional Review, Charlestown Patriot-Bridge, and perhaps others I've missed.

Is the Eastie paper called the Times or the Sun-Transcript? The URL says one thing, the page says another.

I re-invented LynnHappens and converted it to the same wordpress theme in mid-July. I wonder where they got the idea from? (I've customized the theme a little more, though).

LynnHappens, however, isn't quite the same as a newspaper, nor quite the same as a blog. I don't consider the Lynn Journal in direct competition with my goals, but there will be some overlap of functions and purpose here and there.

I suppose imitation is flattery!
