straitstimes.com gets brand new look - with free breaking news and blogs
Note from Editor
THE Straits Times website will be sporting a whole new look starting tomorrow.
With a lively refreshing new look, straitstimes.com readers will be getting more news updates for free.
They'll also be able to engage our journalists and correspondents on four all-new blogs (hyperlink: http://blogs.straitstimes.com) with eight prizes to be won over eight days for the eight best comments.
But online readers will not be the only ones to benefit from the relaunch.
Subscribers will also be able to access more through a new three-in-one subscription product called ST Digital.
For the same subscription rates, they can get the full print edition of the newspaper in an HTML edition, by flipping through the full-page e-paper, and downloading the full content on to their desktops through an e-reader.
Current subscribers will get all these new features automatically.
Also, to introduce ST Digital, readers will be able to access the full HTML site and e-paper for free - sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank.
We will cut over to the new look on Thursday night.
We apologise for any design inconsistences or technical glitches while the crossover takes place. Please bear with us.
We hope you like the redesigned site and we welcome feedback from you.
