Two great blog posts recently on the ever thorny issue of local government websites.
Firstly, Al Smith recounts his experience managing the refresh of Newcastle City Council’s site. A remarkably honest and open appraisal of how it all went, and Al’s own role, it’s a great read and one for any local gov web manager to take a look at.
Secondly, Carl Haggerty – who is on blogging fire at the moment – has written a really thought provoking post on web strategy. He says:
What i think we need is a strategy for the web channel that actually talks about “Exploiting” the channel for business benefit and value creation and not a strategy that focuses on how we will build it, what technology we will use and what level of security we will apply. These are of course very important things but in my view should actually be contained within your organisations ICT Technical Strategies and not within the web strategy.
Great examples of blogging being used to share experience, knowledge and ideas. More of this, please.
