HLN: No Longer the Kid In the Corner

Welcome to the new Horizon League Network!

We're so excited to get the year started, and I'm happy to be able to tell you a little more about our new home.

Hopefully, you've had a chance to take a look around and see some of the new features on the site...which the old site simply didn't offer. Remember, all of these improvements are for you, and we're excited to see what you think.

If you were paying attention last season, you saw how we began to integrate social media into the things we do, but that was just the beginning. Our new site has much more to offer, and can directly link you to some of your favorite social media outlets.

Pay close attention to the Facebook tab on the left side of each HLN team-specific channel. By clicking this tab, you have the opportunity to login to your Facebook account, share with your friends which video you are watching, and even chat with any other Facebook users who are watching the same video. This feature should make things very interesting when hundreds (or sometimes thousands) of you are watching live games here on HLN.

Twitter is also a great way to share information about things you have seen here on the Horizon League Network. By taking advantage of the "tweet this page" button (found on the right side of most pages on the site) you can share links from HLN with all of your followers. Who knows, your "tweet" could light the fire for some serious discussion!

It's also important to follow all of US on Twitter...as we'll also be sending out important information. It could be about HLN programming, new blog entries, or even breaking news items...if something REALLY important happens. If you aren't already, you can follow HorizonLeague, HLNAdam (Adam Coppinger), HLNDamon (Damon Lewis), and HLNJaclyn (ME!).

With all of these new features, it's important that we hear from you, as well. Let us know about athletes, games, and events going on around the league. We're open to pretty much anything, so we'd love to hear what you have to say. We'll be keeping you updated, so feel free to return the favor.

Again...welcome to the new site! Keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter. Share everything you enjoy. Let us know what you think. And get excited for all of the improvements around here!

We're looking forward to seeing and hearing from you...so keep in touch!
