Hi.

You probably noticed that the Boston.com homepage looks different. In fact, some of the sections of the site have changed too.

What's going on?

Well, we've launched the "beta" version of our new local search tool, and we've "moved the furniture around a bit" to accommodate it. Oh, and we added a fresh coat of paint to the top of the page -- we think the new background's refreshing.

But remember "beta" means work in progress. So this is an early version of the tool - one that we want you, our loyal users, to play with and test out while we continue to improve it. We'd love to hear what you think, good and bad, so send us feedback.

Or take a stroll around our FAQ page, where we've tried to anticipate a few of your questions in advance.

Thanks for stopping by.
