Notice the new look?
The Fridge Magnet blog may be looking a bit different on your screen this morning. That’s because our online team is in the process of gradually moving pages out of the old Roanoke.com wrapper and into the newly designed Roanoke.com. Not all of the website pages have been moved, but you’ll continue to see changes like this to the website in the near future.
What does the change mean for this blog? Well, you should be seeing a dark blue wrapper, an entirely different navigation at the top of the page, and different font in blog entries.
However, none of the features or tools you enjoy on this blog should be missing. So please poke around and make sure you see everything you need. If you have any problems navigating on the blog, please leave a comment or shoot me an email!
You can also click on the “News” tab at the top of the screen, then use the yellow “Feedback” tab at the right of the screen. That feedback tool is for any questions or comments you may have about the new website.

I’m not having any problems navigating, but loading the blog is reallllly slow. I’ve tried twice today (hours apart), and both times it took a good 30 seconds to load, while usually it’s pretty much instant. I’m on Firefox, if that makes a difference.
Thanks for letting me know, Kate. I suspect that will improve once they stop tinkering with things behind the scenes, but I’ll certainly pass this along. Thanks for your patience!
Having the same problems too.
Any idea what is moving into the old Back Creek Grill(ye Old English Inn) location on RT 221? I know the land and building were auctioned off several months ago.
TIA
Thanks for sticking with us despite the glitches, JTH.
I have exchanged messages with the new owner of the former Back Creek Grill property and will hopefully be reporting the news very soon.
Like the streamlined look. The “Previous” and “Next buttons on each post do not appear to be functional.
Thanks for the catch, Jill!
