Website for the Wise County Messenger, a twice-weekly local newspaper based in Decatur, Texas.

The site utilizes the Coranto content management system as the main back-end for submitting and editing stories. WordPress also plays a vital part in the site as the back-end for our newly relaunched Update as well as the various blogs we have running on the site. OpenX controls all the advertising on the site, and PHPJobbers scripts handle all the user comments throughout.

The Wise County Messenger’s year-end wrap-up of the most-read stories, the best photos by Joe Duty, and videos people watched the most in 2009.
