High Point — "The investment that our parent company, Reed Business Information, has made to enhance our already powerful Web site will pay dividends for our readers by allowing them to access even more news and information than ever before," said Ray Allegrezza, Furniture/Today's editor-in-chief.

"Since debuting the industry's first electronic daily news dispatch in 2000 with our e-Daily, we've constantly looked for better ways to give our audience enhanced content on demand, and our redesigned Web site marks another major step in that direction," Allegrezza said.

Furniture/Today's site currently attracts some 190,000 unique visitors each month, he added.

With the update, the site now offers a fresh look at news, features, images and video, along with access to the newspaper's extensive archives. Key features include:
