‘225’ launches new website

225 magazine invites you to join in a conversation. With the goal of creating a more engaging and relevant community gathering place, 225 is proud to announce the launch of its brand-new website today. Beyond the fresh look and ease of navigation the site affords, 225‘s new online home features a number of significant improvements for users to enjoy. Streamlined comments sections and a new multimedia uploading tool allow users to converse with 225 staff and other readers, as well as easily upload content to our site. If readers attend an event or dine at a restaurant the magazine writes about, submitting their personal photos or videos from that event or restaurant is now a snap. In addition, we have re-branded our free weekly events e-newsletter, released each Wednesday, as 225 Weekender. With updated staff picks for the week and our community calendar, 225 is the best resource for filling your social schedule with excitement. Our restaurant directory is also updated and easier to navigate, and we continue to produce the free weekly e-newsletter 225 Dine each Thursday, featuring the latest culinary news and reviews from around the city. In addition to being Baton Rouge’s guide for what to do and where to eat, 225 aims to stir community conversation on the news stories, people and local issues that are most important to the magazine’s readers. 225‘s new site features an expanded roster of bloggers who are discussing a range of topics from politics, food and fitness, to arts, movies, music, television, smart growth and development, startups and other business news. Check them out and add your voice to the conversation. It’s all at the new website here.
