YOUR favourite site for up-to-the-minute local news, views and reviews now has a new home.
Today we are launching our new website www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk which is packed with all the things you have come to know and love from the Grimsby Telegraph and more.
We already know that thousands of you use the site. In April alone thisisgrimsby had 407,358 unique visitors and 397,212 in March.
And, with an average of 25,302 visitors a day in April, there were 4,421,665 page views.
Editor Michelle Lalor said: "Our website as www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk was the most successful digital offering in North East Lincolnshire and now I am delighted we are updating our site under the brand of the Grimsby Telegraph, cementing our position as the number one in the area for news, sport, features, reader views and pictures.
"Both online and in print – we are unrivalled and that is fantastic for all our readers and advertisers."
It's also easy to access all your favourite areas – whether that's on your PC, laptop, mobile or tablet.
Whilst you get used to the all-new grimsbytelegraph.co.uk, thisisgrimsby.co.uk will continue to run in parallel over the coming weeks.
Here's our guide to get you started:
Our website is the first port of call for breaking news, seven days a week.
The Grimsby Telegraph's team of reporters deliver in-print and online – and break stories throughout the day.
All the latest stories from across the area are just a click away – as they happen – and it's never been easier for you to have your say on the issues that matter to you, simply by commenting on the stories.
The latest news is also split into categories, including crime, business, education, emergency, environment, health, politics and transport.
The new-look sports section of our website is a must for Grimsby Town fans.
You will find all the latest breaking news from Blundell Park throughout the day and regular updates from the other teams in the Blue Square Bet Premier so you can keep an eye on Town's rivals.
Our popular Grimsby Town Big Match Live interactive coverage service will also return for the 2013/14 season.
Trevor Green, Sports Editor at the Telegraph, commented: "Our new sports website has all the bases covered.
"As always, our sports team will keep you completely up-to-date with all of the latest news and developments from our area's vibrant sporting scene.
"And you, the readers, can play your part too – by joining the debate and adding your comments to stories.
"Let us know what you want more of, or less of, and keep us up-to-date with your sporting stories.
"Online sports news is moving faster than ever before, and the Telegraph will remain at the heart of it with www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/sport"
We're always keen to hear from you – whether it's to give us your views on local issues, letting us know what's happening in your area, what your community is up to or to publicise an event.
And now, doing this, and much more, couldn't be easier.
The new-look site has a special Get Involved section, letting you submit content to the site at the click of a button.
See the latest offers and reviews in the local businesses section, list your items for sale, or give a new home to everything from toys to Toyotas in the classifieds. It's the easiest place to upload your unwanted items for free to make quick cash – so clear out your clutter today.
Everyone enjoys a trip down memory lane and, with our new Bygones section, you can do it at the click of a mouse.
This area of the site is packed with pictures from across the region taken in days gone by.
Bygones co-ordinator Linda Roberts said: "There are a whole host of memories and photographs from school days to the fishing industry, as well as sporting events and local scenes, and you can put names to faces and add your own memories, too."
With our photographers heading out to events across the area every day, there's no way we can squeeze every picture they take into the paper.
However, not only can you view additional photographs, you can also buy copies of every picture we take.
Picture editor Jon Corken said: "People can get a better look at the pictures we take of them, and the pictures our readers take themselves can be viewed through our online galleries."
If you're looking for something to do – whether on your own, as a couple or for the whole family – then look no further than our dedicated What's On section.
As well as details of upcoming events – to which you can add your own gigs, concerts, plays and community days – you can also get in-depth news and reviews.
Entertainment reporter Lucy Greensmith said:
"The snappy site allows you to find top events for the whole family, and quickly, too."
