Welcome from the Editor

Welcome to The Frederick Extra!

Happy 2017!

The Frederick Extra and the site itself continues to evolve with more stories and features. For now, I am updating as the stories roll in.

Since launching in October, The Frederick Extra has broken some big - student data breach - and not so big - mall on the auction block - stories, and even gotten credit from the FNP. At this point, not all exclusives are listing properly at the top of the page. I am working on it!

I've also added a "word on the street" section, Extra Buzzz.

One big change is that you can access The Frederick Extra at thefrederickextra.com. There's an entire story attached to that. Check out my personal Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/katherine.heerbrandt for more on that chapter.

Although I am looking to add more features to this web template, I am somewhat restricted until I can get a customized site. For those who wish to comment on stories, visit The Frederick Extra's Facebook page here, https://www.facebook.com/FrederickExtra/.

The best way to stay up to date with The Frederick Extra is to subscribe on this page. You won't be innundated, I promise.

Let me know what you think, good and bad or indifferent. What do you want to read about?
