You probably noticed our new logo on the top of our home page. It's one of the changes and additions we are working on this summer.
Since there's no text book on how to create a news website, we've sort of created our own. One element that we overlooked until now is a "hortizonal" logo.
The Bluffton Icon now offers viewers an easy way to submit engagements, weddings and anniversary announcements. In addition, viewers may submit birthday announcements for senior citizens. We ask that birthday announcements be reserved for persons 90 and older, unless there is a special situation involved.
