Watch for daily updates until official launch

Welcome.

So far 1,500 Andersonians have discovered the Anderson Observer simply through word of mouth. Thank you all.

Please notice updates not only on the front page, but in each of our sections as we near the launch with a full slate of local content and news you can use from people you trust.

Under our News Links, you will find direct connections to not only the nation's biggest newspapers, but every local major daily newspaper in South Carolina as well as Upstate television and local radio stations. Bookmark that page, or make it your homepage for the simplest way to find all the news from our area.

Coming soon our Health section will offer not only health news but a regular column on fitness and fitenss during pregnancy. Watch the sections for obituaries, real estate listings home and garden tips and some interesting stories that just don't seem to fit anywhere else.

Local photography and video will also begin appearing in the days leading up to the launch, so stay tune

If you are part of the growing social media network, please join our Twitter and Facebook site to get direct updates.

And most of all, send any news tips, events or ideas. This is a community newpaper, and the news comes from those of us who live and work here. Some of us have been here more than half a century, others may just be moving to town, but we all have a circle of influence and stories to share and to tell.

Oh, and tell you friends and advertisers about us.
