We’re excited to present to you the latest version of TheWrap. Believe it or not it’s been a six-month journey to get to the state that you see it in today, and we cannot be happier that it’s finally here.

After a vertiginous ride through traffic spikes and content management system overload in our first year, we took the decision to rebuild the site from scratch and polish the design while we were at it.  

We tried hard to respond to reader suggestions and complaints in making the site simpler to navigate while keeping the depth of content that starts conversations and brings readers back.

The result is what you see before you today – a site that we hope you will find free of technical glitches, more readable, less cluttered, better organized and more inviting to your participation.

Allow me to point out the new navigation bar at the top of the page, which will take you to individual landing pages by subject or by column. Below our new news ticker, you’ll find “trending topics” that cross-references the conversation on Twitter with coverage and commentary at TheWrap.

Other features: We’ve moved “the river” of latest news toward the top of the page so you can easily find the most recent postings. And you can now go back through the river to previous pages to see what you might have missed earlier in the day.

Every website is a living, breathing organism that changes every day, if not every hour. So expect to see more changes day by day. Look forward to a more robust television home page in the coming weeks, along with other innovations and tweaks.

Thanks for your patience and support, and thanks for being part of TheWrap adventure,

Sharon
