Site debut

After a week's worth of coding and posting, MercerCluster.com went live today and was officially announced in today's print edition

At this writing, the site had notched 2,125 unique page views within an eight-hour period. I'd call that a pretty successful launch. The day's most popular story was Kathleen Quinlan's hilarious police roundup, which received more than 100 views by itself.

Thanks to all our dedicated section editors for getting the site online. Now I've got a bit more coding to do before the next issue so we can get this thing perfect...
