Congratulations on your new format, and in continuing a great informative newspaper.

Wow!

Congratulations guys, great job

Really professional, international standard! Keep up the good work.

Well done, it's a very good job you guys did. Beautiful presentation.
May I ask if it could be possible to add in your Exchange rate, the Canadian dollar?

Congratulations on the new site! It really is a step up from the previous site.

LIKE THE FORMAT, LETS HOPE THE POSTINGS ARE INTELLEGENT AND DON'T GO THE WAY OF THE OTHER ENGLISH SITE

I like it... Good job.
I agree with RenatoSosua, a Canadian Dollar exchange rate would be great...

Awesome Job Guys!

Love the new layout.
Should definitely make conversations more lively in here and easier to read.
Welcome to the 21st Century. :)

Awesome......Congrats!!!!

Looks great so far. Have to agree with Blanco. It appears that the owners are a bit more professional and reasonable so I doubt it will twist in the wrong direction.

Best of luck!

I usually visit the Dominican Today every morning to enjoy the news of your country. Today my visit occured in the afternoon and what a surprise. Congratulations on your new format.

Better late than never .....and keep up the good work.

Best wishes on a job well done!........Please continue to keep us well informed.

Loving the new layout, keep up the good work! about time we have a nice looking online paper with great information.

Good Job on the new layout.

Question on the poll though, where is the all of the above selection. lol


What change would you like to see in the DR in 2008?

* Lower gas prices
* Lower taxes
* Improved economy
* Improved governance
* Lower crime rate

time2rize:

Just pray you get 1 one of them. All of them at once is not going to happen :P

DaniDr

In that case i pray for lower taxes.

You both are very optimistic.

I hope the debates don't deteriorate as they seem to have done on some other stories in this new formatted Dominican Today. It would be a loss if that happens. Also give these stories a long enough shelf life so that some of us who can't visit that often can catch up.

to Juansantodomingo; the old format seemed to have been characterised by a certain civility in the exchanges. people were passionate about their viewpoints, but expressed them with a respect for the fact that other posters have a right to hold divergent opinions. for some bizarre reason, yet undeciphered by me, this format seems to attract the category of posters whom i like to call INTERNET HOOLIGANS. they do not see these fora as a medium for learning from the wisdom of others, however humble it may be. they see themselves as the arbiters of all knowledge, and as having the God -given right to insult and tyrannise those who dare to disagree with them. schoolboy -style name calling and invective is a new phenomenon, which i hope will not last. also, i agree with you that the shelf life of the stories is far too short, especially when compared to the old format. surely there must be a way to rectify that. otherwise, its a wonderful upgrade on the old way of doing things. good luck.

I just think that this new format has a few estetic problems... for example the ads bar on the right where the exchange rates are posted needn't be that big. Its just my opinion but it doesn't look that professionnal.

picky, picky, picky, buenoha. in most circles we like to call that GROWING PAINS!

Congratulations on the new site. Awesome Job Guys! Keep up the good work.
