A busy Silly Season for Coastsider

August is a slow news month. It’s called the Silly Season because so many frivolous stories get published.  It’s also a slow month for Web traffic, because everyone’s on vacation.

We’re taking advantage of the summer doldrums to replace the software we use to publish Coastsider. When we’re finished, the site won’t look a lot different, but we expect to use this platform in the fall to add new features to the site and to take a fresh look at our our design.

We’ll continue to publish daily, or close to it, but if the flow of news seems a little slow, blame it on the Silly Season.
