Are you ready to explore West Virginia in a whole new way?

The contributing team at West Virginia Explorer will relaunch its flagship guide to West Virginia by the first of January, just as many explorers are succumbing to spring fever.

Unlike the current version of the site at WVExplorer.com, the remastered site will be wholly integrated with social media, allowing explorers to share their love of the Mountain State in real time through commentary, photography, and video and audio.

West Virginia Explorer was first published in 2000 and swiftly became one of the principal online guides to West Virginia. Now in its thirteenth year, editor David Sibray says he expects 2013 to be very, very lucky for contributors and readers alike.

Sibray Limited Liability Company, the publisher of West Virginia Explorer and the parent of Sibray Public Relations Co, will move its offices to Charleston, W.Va., in September. David Sibray said the move will better accommodate the contributors that the company contracts across the state.

Traditionally one of top three online directories for West Virginia travel information, The West Virginia Explorer over the last year underwent a top-to-bottom overhaul, during which its rankings at search engines such as Bing.com and Google.com were re-ordered. Now that the process is complete, Sibray said the publishing house will need to provide writers, photographers, and other contributors better access to a centralized office environment.
