Congratulations on all your hard work. However, I've encountered a problem. If the name of the submitter is included, that person's name will show up if you happen to be searching on the same last name. For instance, I had Baker family in Ohio. Each and every article that Kathy Baker ever submitted will show up when I search on Baker. I didn't try searching on a full name yet. Hopefully that will help.

Subject: [OH-Old-News] Upgrade of NewspaperAbstracts.com!

It has been a long process and we are nearing the end of the transfer with
over 90% * of the news items now having been placed into the new site
manager at NewspaperAbstracts.com.

There are many improvements and features available with this new system that
we were not able to do in the past, as well as a new look to the site.

~ When contributors submit news items thru our online system, the articles
are posted to the site, in their proper county, within a few hours.

~ Regular contributors can apply for their own user account, allowing their
articles to appear online immediately.

~ Coordinators no longer need to know html or ftp in order to manage a
county or state for the site. It is as simple as completing an online form.

~ Get the latest "old" news displayed on your website using our Webfeed
Generator. The Webfeed on your site is automatically updated the instant a
new item is posted on NewspaperAbstracts.com.

~ The site search engine is updated immediately with the latest news items.
No more waiting for the weekly update to find the latest news!

Main page of upgraded site:

Upgraded news contribution form:

To apply for a Contributor or Coordinator account:

Remember, NewspaperAbstracts.com is a user-contributed database that relies
on you for old news items. NewspaperAbstracts.com has been and always will
be a free site available to everyone with an internet connection.

* Areas not yet 100% upgraded include Indiana, Iowa, Ireland, Massachusetts,
New York and Ontario Canada.
