Oh dear, typing that HTML element code has awoken a weird IdealGov smiley.

The RateIt web site seems stuffed with “popularist” opinions from USA.

To achieve credibility in UK, we’d need a UK section. It would also need to separate comments about the latest TV show from comments about eg. eGovernment services.

Interesting idea but as said above, the widget seems to be set for USA (rather than UK) keyboards. Also, it displays my quotation marks as their HTML element code. (")

Needs more work to improve its “accessibility” and to improve the almost invisible text labels at the bottom.

Also – how to categorise this blog? I said political but it’s not partisan. It’s not technolgoy or Web 2.0, or personal. Or it’s all of these. Ooh, perhaps there was an option to have more than one…

Hm. Having tested it out myself

– I had problems registering (but maybe my keyboard is getting sticky)
– it needs shift/2 to get @, when UK keyboards have it at shift/’
– is registration necessary?
I suppose so, what with spam etc. When this emerges from beta they’ll need some protection I suppose.
