Hey You, know any HTML?

anybody with a gmail account now has a website for free – it’s pretty easy to use as well.

Best of luck riotacters – show us your phat skills so areaman can critique your sites.

by the way – the drop down menus weren’t my idea. Also a CMS is not available therefore I had the job of doing it from scratch. I understand it has alot of issues currently but it takes time as I am doing it by myself

Hi everyone

I’m the person who designed the Governance Division website. It does still need ALOT of work but it’s a start

Thank you for your comments

One, I’m taking lots of notes, Two, I’m never putting my ground up sites on the RiotACT alter. areaman would be compelled by the laws of karma to behead me.

The ACT govt spends nothing on these things compared to the national public service.

wouldn’t work with our tortured stylesheet AM.

you make a good point though, an ACT wide CMS if properly implemented (KABOOM!) would save a fortune and solve many problems.

(not least of which would be retraining people moving between departments)

Damn, i tried to use a list, which is why my comment looks off. I really should have checked the allowed html list after claiming to be a master.

Hey JB how about allowing UL and OL tags in comments?

As some one who knows a hell of a lot about about html/xhtml and cssknows a fair bit about the Governance Division of CMD has met the person in question I think that yeah it was done on the cheap, but that just goes to show how under resourced the ACT public service is. If they had brought external contractors and spent serious cash on it I can imagine the stink that you guys would have kicked up.

The ACT government has always been pretty weak both in internet and in design, this is just a further example of it, but that’s a problem with management priorities rather than the mugginses they get to implement them. What they really need is a service wide web team (I guess in treasury or intact, ugh) to run a content management system and at least set standards and give advice if not actually set up the sites.

And again. I give up.

Argh – buggered up the blockquote:
