It's the Dome blog's second birthday!
As a feature in the N&O, Under the Dome debuted Sept. 3, 1934, but it "went electric" on April 16, 2007.
Since then, we've posted more than 9,000 times.
A few highlights from the past year:
* Adding new features. We've created a Mobile Dome for use on your Blackberry or iPhone, added an Ask Dome feature for your difficult questions, ran the Claims Dept. fact check and started the Dome Memo, a weekly roundup of the news.
* Covering the 2008 elections. We covered 11 statewide races, including open seats for governor, senator, lieutenant governor and treasurer. We ran into the thick of the momentous Clinton-Obama primary and the emergence of a new swing state.
* The Legion of Dome. We hosted a crew of capable interns and welcomed the political team of the Charlotte Observer. We bid goodbye to two colleagues. The head legionnaire moved to Washington.
In all, it's been a great year, and we look forward to many more!
