Postal Bulletin gets new look

With this issue, the Postal Bulletin has a new look. We have made these design changes to help our readers find content more easily. The reason we’ve made them now is because we have replaced our aging (and antiquated) HTML publishing software with an advanced, more flexible software that makes it easier for those who are visually challenged to use.

As most of our readers know, we distribute the Postal Bulletin in three formats — paper, PDF, and HTML. Printed copies are mailed to every postal facility and, in addition, we publish the Postal Bulletin online at www.usps.com and on the Postal Service Intranet, Blue, in both PDF and HTML formats.

The PDF file allows the reader to read and print pages that look exactly like the printed copies. The HTML file allows a visually challenged person to use a screen reading program to listen to each issue. Of course, sighted persons also can use the HTML format, but it is designed primarily for those who have difficulty reading print. The new software streamlines the publishing process for these HTML files.

We hope you like the new design and find it easy to use, regardless of which format you use to take advantage of the wealth of information in each issue of the Postal Bulletin.
