Finally! It’s been more than two years in the making, but at long last the Great Falls Development Authority website is up & running. Looks good.

Absolutely amazing. GF Girl has posted an entry about a letter that was sent out by the Great Falls Development Authority (GFDA) concerning fiscal matters. Like me, her attention focused on this money (literally) quote: The budget does not include funding to complete our new web site that we carried over from our fiscal year just ended or to buy much needed new computer equipment to replace or at least upgrade 6 year old computers, particularly our server. I...
A fellow named Jeff left a comment today wondering why the Great Falls Development Authority (GFDA) website still hasn’t been updated. My response: I have absolutely no idea. It completely baffles me. It looks like the GFDA website has become my windmill, much like GeeGuy and GF Girl have “adopted” the coal plant as their civics project, and Susan Overfield has taken on the animal-welfare system. Let’s take a look at the story so far: Read The Whole Thing...
Coming up on one year since my kerfuffle with the Great Falls Development Authority, and it saddens me to report that nothing has changed on the GFDA website. The link to “Quest” still appears on the GFDA site, and none of the things that I mentioned back in January have changed: Read The Whole Thing >>> “It is still somewhat depressing, though, to see that not much else has changed at the site, such as the monthly newsletter section,...
You might remember that I got into a little dust-up with some of the folks over at the Great Falls Development Authority (GFDA) a few months ago. Here’s a recap: the GFDA website is in dire need of a makeover. Back in October, it had outdated information, was difficult to use, and had bad links. I offered to provide assistance (at no cost – duh), based on my experience in blogging – you know, creating simple, functional websites that...
Really, I’m not trying to pick on the GF Development Authority; I’m trying to help, seriously. But after getting the brush-off, I don’t know of any other way to get their attention. So when I point out that their “Communications” page has a link to Quest – and even spells it “Quest” – when what they probably should have linked to was Qwest (with a W), I do it only because I want them to get it right. Although...
Warning: minor rant about local websites ahead. Several months ago I got into a minor kerfuffle with someone over at the Great Falls Development Authority about how current – or not – the agency’s website was. It was somewhat of a relief to see that shortly after that exchange they did indeed update the picture on the front page to accurately reflect the current President of the GFDA. It is still somewhat depressing, though, to see that not much...
