Google and WhiteHouse.gov and broken links
It is the time of transition and a lot of links in google searches to whitehouse.gov are broken and new pages are apparently not indexed yet. I imagine that google will update these links soon, but be aware. If you have hard links to White House pages (e.g., Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, Office of Homeland Security, Office of National AIDS Policy), you might want to check them!

Office of Public Liaison & Intergovernmental Affairs
The Office of Public Liaison & Intergovernmental Affairs
The Office of Public Liaison & Intergovernmental Affairs (OPL-IGA) is the front door to the White House through which everyone can participate and inform the work of the President. OPL-IGA takes the Administration out of Washington and into communities across America, stimulating honest dialogue and ensuring that America's citizens and their elected officials have a government that works effectively for them and with them. OPL-IGA will bring new voices to the table, build relationships with constituents and seeks to embody the essence of the President's movement for change through the meaningful engagement of citizens and their elected officials by the federal government. We'll be adding many more ways for you to interact with OPA-IGA at this page in the weeks and months ahead.Continue reading

Archiving .Gov: Your Help Requested!
As the inauguration ceremony begins tomorrow, we can be assured that the Library of Congress and other partners in the End of Term Harvest project have captured much of the Bush administration's online presence. Many of these websites will be re-captured at later dates, providing an interesting look at how these websites will change over time, through different administrations. On a related note, there will undoubtedly be changes in the coming days, weeks, months, that will eliminate some government agencies. We are trying to archive as many of these "dead" websites as possible in the CyberCemetery, to preserve them in their final form. Please, if you know of a website that is disappearing, email or call me. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open, but there is a lot of content out there, and I welcome your help. After all, this information is for all of us! Thanks, and I wish you all joy as we witness history tomorrow. Continue reading
