From the “What not to put on your website’s home page” department:
1. Under construction messages
2. Really STRANGE features like the one in bold below (although from a technical viewpoint, I am interested in how they accomplished this)
From their website (emphasis mine):
“Please be patient we are still under construction. This ‘static’ site is temporary. Stay tuned for our brand new ‘Dynamic’ site with hundreds of Key features to include just a few: the ability to create user profiles,extra fields in profile, enhanced registration workflows, user lists, connection paths between users, admin defined tabs and user profiles, image upload, front-end workflow management, integration with other components, like PMS, Newsletter, Forum, Galleries.
We are in the process of partnering with other conservative groups and alliances across the country in order to bring you an enormous network. Our new ‘dynamic’ site will be in operation very soon. You will have features at your command that will help level the playing field with the liberals. Thank You LGTR.”
Um...did you guys mean “CMS”?

This could get interesting. I wonder if the participants in Richmond’s mayoral race would be up for something like this. No wait...who am I kidding?
Time magazine blogger Ana Marie Cox is moderating a debate on technology and the government on Twitter.
Read the full article here: BREAKING: PdF2008 Hosts Obama-McCain Twitter Debate
The McCain campaign will be represented by Liz Mair, the online communications director of the Republican National Committee. The Obama campaign will be represented by Mike Nelson, a professor at Georgetown University who served in the Clinton White House under Vice President Gore on tech policy issues. He is an outside advisor to Obama’s campaign on issues of technology, media and telecommunications.
The debate is an initiative of Personal Democracy Forum and is being launched in tandem with next week’s annual PdF conference, which is taking place Monday and Tuesday at Rose Hall in NYC.
Mike, Liz and Ana will be using their personal Twitter accounts, @mikenelson, @lizmair and @anamariecox, and we’ve also asked them to tag their responses with the hashtag #pdfdebate. We suggest that readers who want to follow along use a Twitter application like Summize.com to track the conversation.
