Weekly Web Work, 8-3 through 8-7

Tuesday was perhaps my busiest ever in the morning. I posted seven bylined stories between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. as I did double duty, as business reporter and on the online desk. At one point my name or work was part of 7 of the 11 stories on the IndyStar.com home page. Stories I was part of were: Hard-hit RV region gets pick-me-up (350 jobs), Marsh sorry for Facebook flap, Red Gold looks to take advantage of ripe opportunity, Simon earnings dip on retail, investment loss, Duke Energy's 2Q profit hurt as demand ebbs and Ohio college hires dean for Indy expansion. Whew!



Oh, and the biggest story of the day was a 4.5' deluge in Indianapolis, which I kick started during the morning shift. Rain traveled sideways, and pushed its way through the closed windows in the office. Amazing!
