The Barack Obama website is down for maintenance and it looks like it will be back up with this new design soon.
The Web Site: A Little Refresh
By Joe Rospars - Dec 29th, 2007 at 7:54 am EST
It starts with Iowa and before you know it more than half the states in the country will have weighed in by February 5th. We're about to head into what will be the decisiive contests of this election, and this morning we gave our web site a bit of a refresh in order to prepare for it.
Things may look a little different, but the experience should be familiar for those of you who are regular visitors. My.BarackObama.com, for example, has been a work in progress from the very beginning thanks to your suggestions and feedback, and it will continue to evolve over the coming weeks.
Instead, we've focused this refresh on making sure those coming to the site for the first time are able to get all the information they need and find their way to what interests them the most.
The biggest changes are to the front page of the site, where we'll now be able to present a lot more information in a clear, concise format. You'll see more of the blog, more of the latest news, and more about events across the country on top of all the ways you can get involved. You'll also find a map and a list of states to help folks find ways to get involved wherever they live.
For those looking to learn more about Barack's positions, we also expanded the policy/issues section with more topic areas and more types of content for the various topics.
As with any changes, there are bound to be bugs and breakages, so please let us know in the comments of this post if you experience any problems.
We hope you and the thousands of new people who join over movement every day will find the site that much more useful as a result.
