I’d like to draw your attention to a new blog on Roanoke.com called RefreshRT, which was created in order to provide readers with information about our upcoming web redesign. More importantly, RefreshRT is the place for readers to make comments and suggestions that will help to shape the new Roanoke.com.

The latest blog entry on RefreshRT is about commenting on Roanoke.com. We want readers to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts on our website, but the engagement team is still working on developing the very best methods and policies for online comments.

For example, the team is juggling issues such as anonymity in comments, connections to Facebook and Twitter, and an open daily forum.

A pretty good discussion is already underway. Please consider checking out the blog entry and sharing your thoughts about online comments. Thanks!
