Sarasota Livin'

As a web developer I am happy to see any new web site with interesting content come out. Only a very, very small percent of what goes on is documented on the web so more is better.

I really love the video service both City and County government websites are now offering. You can go to either site and watch commission meetings.

BUT when you title a site "Your Voice" and the only way for me to provide "my voice" is an email link that goes to the "webmaster" that is pretty lame.

The ex- city manager was able to have a blog and allowed comments and he was a non techy blogger. It got messy sometimes but I think overall it was a good forum. I have also seen the Sarasota Herald Tribune "discussion forums" so I understand that allowing public comments can be messy.

BUT this site is "county governments voice" not "my voice" ..

Also on a techy note:
Dear Sarasota County Government Webmaster... please view your site in Firefox - the "Links of Interest" list displays on top of the content ...
