WE LAUNCHED a new Web site a few months ago --www.homecaremag.com -- and I kept waiting for the right time to tell you more about it. I've decided that moment will never come. The site is constantly evolving -- so much so every time I log on, it seems we've added something new.

Just the other day, in fact, as I was talking to our editor Marie Blakey about a link to our online Buyers' Guide I wanted to add to the site, she paused, clicked a few keys and poof, it was there.

Indeed, one of the things I like best about our new site is that we are a part of the entire IndustryClick online community, which gives us access to cutting-edge technology -- such as one-button updates, video streaming and a massive search engine.

As a member of Industry Click, we can also now bring you more invaluable online resources. Let me count the ways.

• With our new server, we can now post the current issue of HomeCare sooner. So when you're traveling — or someone has stolen your copy of the latest issue — you can still get a hold of HomeCare's just-released retail survey statistics, say, or Lisa Thomas-Payne's insights on advanced beneficiary notices.

• You can connect to the latest news from Washington or read about what's going on with leading companies in the industry by clicking on a link that will take you direct to HomeCare Monday, our weekly electronic newsletter.

• Search our Editorial Calendar to find out what our editors are working on. If you know what Market Analysis and Product Focus features are coming up, for example, you'll know where to look to get the information you need to purchase the right mobility product or bring on that new line of electric beds.

• Interested in reviewing the stock prices of other HME providers or keeping up with the health of your vendors? Just click on our Stock Watch in HomeCare Monday.

• Browse through our back issue archives in the same way you would meander through a library. You can search for particular issues or by topic. I just searched the word "respiratory" for example, and 172 items came up -- everything from reimbursement tips to new product news.

• Want to connect with a manufacturer? It's just a click away with our site search function. Not only will you find news items and articles about the vendor, but your search will pull up a listing of all the different types of products the company makes.

These are just some of the highlights you'll find on our site today. (I can't even begin to tell you what we might dream up tomorrow.) Check it out. The information you find there can help you run your business better. And before you know it, homecaremag.com will become a regular habit.
