Presidential Style

Form&Function

Happy Inauguration Day, or as Josh likes to call it, Coronation Day! If you need a superficial break from politics, check out the Mrs. O blog for updates on First Lady Michelle Obama's fashion statements.

The fashionistas behind the blog update regularly with photos, sketches, info on Mrs. O's clothing and predictions on what she'll wear to major events. They already have images and commentary up from today (she looked stunning in a yellow suit), and I plan to check back for more pics after the inaugural balls tonight.

After you check out Mrs. O, head over to the new-and-improved WhiteHouse.gov. I LOVE the redesign. Congrats to Macon Phillips and the entire White House New Media team for creating a clear, confident and lively new website.

First off: Your "Comment anon" thing does not work.

On the obamicon entries html page, you have coded a seriously stupid thing:

You cannot self sign certificates, and don't bother trying:

I had to click OK (all rejected, by the way) as many times as there are lines of info here (simple mistake easily rectified on your end of course)

Oh God, please fix this!? There is absolutely no trustworthy reason to do this, and no reason for me to change my security config of my browser for this kind of Tom Foolery.
