Web Watch: Relaunching a Grand Old Web Site

It's pretty, right? The new site has a bold, clean design, and it's a big improvement from the previous GOP.com, which looked as dated and out-of-touch as the Grand Old Party itself is lately accused of being. It also features a lot of great interactive components — integration with Facebook Connect; the ability to set up a profile, share photos and videos, and connect with other GOPers; opportunities to share thoughts and comments; and frequently updated blogs written by party leadership — that should attract site visitors and keep them coming back regularly.
