Welcome to the new look LiverpoolEcho.co.uk

FOR 130 years the Liverpool ECHO has brought you the news and views that matter to Merseyside.

The launch of our newspaper companion website, www.liverpoolecho.co.uk, in 2007 and creation of our ECHO Mobile site allowed you to access all the information you needed when and how you wanted to.

And now we are delighted to unveil an exciting new look to our Echo website, which has been completely redesigned with the aim of delivering the very best in news, views, features, video, and comment as it happens, when it happens.

To ensure you get the best informed local coverage of the things that affect you most, our new-look website is now even easier to navigate, and our commitment to being first with what's happening means it is constantly updated with local, national and international news, video reports and daily news bulletins, photo galleries and opinion.

You can also get breaking news and sport via our new Twitter feeds, and use them to send us information or your comments. If you have a Twitter account already you can simply follow @LivEchonews for news updates, @LivEcholfc or @LivEchoEFC for Liverpool FC and Everton FC news, match reports, breaking news and comment. If you don't have a Twitter account yet, just sign up for free at http://twitter.com.

And our RSS (Really Simple Syndication) option makes it simple to get your favourite ECHO content delivered to one convenient place - simply click the here and follow the clearly-explained guide.

Alongside the redesigned www.liverpoolecho.co.uk, our online users will also find a new online business directory, www.LocalMole.co.uk.

Designed to easily connect local users with local businesses the site, created by the ECHO's parent company Trinity Mirror, contains a database of over 1.8 million business listings featuring business names, addresses, contact information and maps.

Highly searchable, it gives you the opportunity to rate and review your experiences, while businesses have the option to enhance their presence on the site and advertisers see their listings appear as text links across relevant Trinity Mirror websites.

The website redesign was done with you the reader in mind - we wanted to make it as fast and easy to use as possible and we think the new look achieves this. I think users, businesses and our advertisers will be delighted with the new LocalMole directory - it's a fast, easy way to access information.

The ECHO has always been the number one for news on Merseyside and these latest innovations just underline our commitment to retain that crown.

And we want to hear what you think of the new-look site. Leave your comments below.
