White House web site redesign

Perhaps in an attempt to keep up with the House redesign (see previous blog posting) the White House has released a new version of their web site.

The new site has three areas:

• In Focus This section of the site links first to the topics on the top of the President's agenda, such as the budget, homeland security, and Iraq. There are then links to news pages, appointments, additional government web sites, and a feature that lets you ask questions of the White House.
• Latest News This section has links to the most recent press releases, as well as photo essays and videos.
• Features This section takes the primary issues of the President and give a brief overview of the issue, with links to plans, press releases, and fact sheets.

For those of you who are interested, there are now links to podcasts and RSS feeds from the White House.
