You know what just bugs me more than anything? When I am looking at websites and the information is incorrect or not up-to-date. I was recently viewing our school website, specifically the page that list teachers. It frustrates me to see the 2007 - 2008 teachers listed instead of the 2008 - 2009 (recent school year) teachers.
What bothers me more, is that I have offered to help manage the website on numerous occasions with no acknowledgment or acceptance. In a world that is heavily depended on websites for information, better efforts should be made on keeping websites up-to-date.
I was recently at NHTM's website and up until just recently, many of the links were broken and information was past date. While I just happened to be browsing one day and not looking for anything specific, If I was looking for something I would have gotten really frustrated for not finding it.
That leads me to my last comment. Making information easy to find. I don't know about you but when I am looking for an Email address or contact info and I have to navigate through 4 or 5 pages... Simple is better!

I absolutely agree with you Mike that it is important to have up-to-date websites. There is nothing more frustrating than links that go nowhere or old information. Our school website gets outdated as well and we don't control our own pages. I hope to sit with our tech teacher who does maintain the site to fix the library site in particular this week!
