	Welcome to The Stonington Intelligencer
		A brief history: “that little Borough website” was born, as is probably the case with ninety percent of the best ideas, towards the end of a boozy dinner party – and we all know how friendly the Borough is towards children, dogs and, ahem, cocktail connoisseurs, though not necessarily in that order.
		The Stonington Intelligencer, I learned, filled something of a void: it offered truly local news and information of the sort that wasn’t being covered by either The Day, out of New London, or The Westerly Sun, both excellent newspapers with then-new websites (and the Sun’s is now especially improved and impressive).
		What then should a “new and improved” Stonington Intelligencer be made of – I suppose I could change the color of the amateurish logo, or hire a proper website designer to make at least the home page look professional (this may come to pass), or take ads.
