Town Website improving

I have been quite critical of our town website in the past and I am happy to report that it is improving markedly. You can get a lot more information and in a more timely manner than just a few months ago. This is a welcome change. I hope to see the site become increasingly useful and ...

... see more and more of the town's business conducted, recorded, and made available for review through the site.
Currently the format is a bit clunky and information is sometimes easy to overlook. An example is the Bulletin Board page where if you scroll down below the weather gadget, you find a list of available information. Looking at the top part of the page, there is no indication that there is more to the page if you scroll down.
Some sort of site search function would be nice and a few of the links to bylaws are broken. The bylaw links are also in MS Word format and it would be nice if they were in a format which offers a free reader such as Adobe PDF.
Still progress is being made and kudos for that. Any site of any size will have some problems and that is expected and others may like what I don't as a matter of preference. All in all, a good and encouraging start.

Great. Who has been working on it, and who can we thank, Bill?
