Thanks to all who dropped us a note to let us know you’re delighted to have both crossword puzzles now in the TV book. Quite a few of you wrote to say thanks for returning the old puzzle — and I think this is the first time I’ve ever been told I brought balance to [...]
Thanks for the helpful — and very positive — feedback on the redesigned weather page we introduced last week. Several of you suggested some good ideas to tweak the package, including adding a few cities, along with a forecast for wind, and we’re working on getting those changes in place.
Stay tuned to the weather on [...]

On Friday afternoon, we launched our redesigned home page at Kansas.com. We think you’ll find it easier to find the stories you’re looking for, and the site more organized. Congratulations and many thanks to our site programmer, Katie Lohrenz, for a great deal of hard work to make our news site easier to use.
Here’s a [...]

Many thanks to the readers who sent me some detailed examples of erroneous listings in our TV guide section the past month or so. With your help, we’ve been able to work with the company that provides our listings, Tribune Media Services, to make changes that should significantly improve the accuracy of listings each week.

I’ve fallen behind in responding to a collection of questions/comments about The Eagle Medallion Hunt, which ended May 15 at the Riverfest Block Party with James Cline winning the grand prize Suzuki car.
We got a great amount of positive feedback. With some exceptions, the biggest complaints seemed to come from people who didn’t guess the [...]

In the coming days you’ll see some changes in the newspaper that I want to explain to you, as well as give you background on some changes we’ve made in the past couple of weeks.
Beginning this week, the Monday and Tuesday newspapers will have a new configuration, with an A and B section.
Section A will [...]
I came back Monday from two business trips to find a string of thank-you emails from readers who love the new interactive voters guide at Kansas.com. I’m delighted that so many Eagle readers and Kansas.com users like the new online voters guide, which is a significant improvement over what we have been able to offer [...]

Alan, I’ve never done a formal count of phone calls/emails I get compared to comments posted on the board. A rough guess is that at least 90% to 95% come to me directly. Increasingly, those people explain that they didn’t want to post publicly. Also, I often address questions here that I get in person [...]

Ellie asks a pointed question, and she’s right. Our posting is spotty on this blog, and we need to do better. She says she clicked on the About link, and has “never seen a peep from those peeps.” Her chastising is on point and we’re without a good defense. We need to do better.
When I [...]
