So while the majority of the nation was watching the Inauguration today, the White House web team quietly transitioned over the old WhiteHouse.gov to a new, slick content management based website. It’s got the same look and feel as many of the websites created during (now) President Obama’s run for the presidency.

One of the many cool features, besides being mostly CSS based, having a modern web aesthetic, and looking much more SEO friendly (title tags, page titles, CSS menus, using H2 and H4 tags, alt tags for images, very little flash, etc.) – it’s also got an email subscription feature right at the top and several blog feeds. Here are all the links to the blogs currently on the site:

• White House.gov Main Blog Feed
• White House.gov Agenda Articles Feed
• White House.gov Press Office Feed
• White House.gov OMB News Article Feed
• White House.gov Photo Gallery Feed
• White House.gov Video Feed

Just a heads up, the only link with any content is the “Main Blog Feed”, but the others will hopefully be populated soon after all the content generated today. Looking forward to seeing how often content is pushed out of here. Truly a historic day for our country, both online and off.

UPDATE: The White House is also on Twitter: @whitehouse_gov
