A Tale of Two Web Sites

Michael Townley commented that the city web side no longer has Sharon's image on it, and he's right.

That is, if you are looking at plainfield.com

Above is a screen shot just taken at plainfieldnj.gov

The ,gov site is more recent and was deemed more appropriate for a municipality. Depending what you have bookmarked, you might be seeing the image above or this one at the .com address:

 Dan has opined that the city should keep both, as the .com site was due to expire and who knows who might get their mitts on it. See his post here.

Well, because there are still two, both should be cleaned up, or at least preference given to the .gov site. One could keep the .com with a redirect to .gov.if it is so important to retain both.

Transitions are never easy and the new administration doesn't need a chorus of advice. Or maybe they do in this case at least, if nobody thought out the ramifications of having two existing web sites and updating the old one rather than the new one.
