do I place a classified ad?
Where is today's paper? A high-resolution image of every day's newspaper is available here, as well as from the left column of the home page. Where is a particular article? You can find any article from the present to January 1997 through our Story Archive. Or search stories by date from the last 30 days from our headlines page. You can also search classified ads, flyers, circulars, and inserts, obituaries, legal notices, lost and found ads, vital statistics, celebrations, community events, and stories from the Enterprise Newspapers from our site index. Where is a death notice/obituary? Obituaries and guest books can be found here. Where can I find a calendar of community events? Community events and information are available at Local Events, a service of the Daily Herald Company. Where can I find the Herald? The Daily Herald is available at thousands of locations across King, Snohomish, and Island Counties. Search for locations that sell The Herald here. Where can I send a story idea? News tips and other story and content ideas may be sent to newstips@heraldnet.com. Where is the site index? Every section and service available on HeraldNet may be found here. Where is the window I just opened? More and more Internet browsers now include features that block popup windows. HeraldNet features very few of these. If you experience any such problems, however, try disabling this feature in your browser. In Internet Explorer, select "Tools" from the topmost menu bar, then "Internet Options," select the "Privacy" tab, and uncheck the "Block pop-ups" box. In Firefox, click "Tools," "Options," "Content," and uncheck the "Block Popup Windows" box. Where is the page/link/image/submit button I am trying to view? Internet Security software, most notably Norton Internet Security, will block content, frequently by default and without notice. You may experience blank pages, forms that won't submit, or missing content on the sites you're visiting. If you've installed any security software or firewalls, make sure that the heraldnet.com domain has medium or default level of access. HeraldNet strives to provide a safe and secure Web surfing environment. You can be assured that HeraldNet does not have any software or will not install any software on your machine that will compromise the security of your personal data. We are not, however, responsible for any 3rd-party advertising or Web sites you may link to from HeraldNet. Where is the story I just heard about? HeraldNet updates frequently throughout the day. Our home page is changed daily, as indicated by the date in the upper right corner of the main story. Internet browsers may store temporary copies of pages for quick access, however. Many pages on HeraldNet are also cached by our server for data retention and faster page viewing. Some organizations or Internet service providers (such as America Online) may also cache or save Web pages on their servers and supply them to the next subscriber that tries to browse them as a way of saving Internet bandwidth and making the page load faster. To view the most current edition of HeraldNet, hold down the "CTRL" key ("CMD" on Mac) and then press the "R" key. Internet Explorer users may also press the "F5" key. If this doesn't work, try deleting the cache or temporary internet files from your machine, or reducing the amount of space your browser uses to store pages. In IE, select "Tools" from the topmost menu bar, then "Internet Options," then on the "General" tab, click "Settings" (under the "Temporary Internet Files" heading), and check "Automatically" or "Every visit to the page." In Netscape, select Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Cache and choose "Automatically." This will ensure that your browser will always check for the most current version of the page. Where is a particular article from the Daily Herald? Not all Herald content appears on HeraldNet. Due to its unique position on the Internet, HeraldNet is able to bring you features that are not possible in print (and vice versa). HeraldNet will continue to bring you the latest and most essential news stories affecting Snohomish and Island Counties, as well as direct access to area weather, traffic, politics, entertainment, and more.
