We've changed things up a bit at our website, www.champaigncountyclerk.com in an attempt to get people where they need to be quicker and easier. Not much different in the way of content, but hopefully a few other changes are on the way.
Also, I noted on my County Clerk blog that we're now using the GIS consortium to help us produce maps. Let me know if you'd like to volunteer to improve that area of our office.
Our webmaster and I are principally Firefox users so I'm especially interested in how the IE, Safari and other browser users are doing with the site.
It looks good in Firefox. However, I will be really impressed when the illegable blobs showing the politically gerrymandered county districts are replaced with useful maps clearly showing the lines of demarkation.
The part of the web site I use, the search for property records by address or owner, has always been a bit inconvenient to use, and has not been updated.
The overall reorganization of the whole site seems very positive

we used to use our own property search prior to the County doing their own. Once the County put up their site, we went ahead and started linking to theirs. I'll pass your thoughts on. And we'll work on the map.
Looks good in Safari, too.
One small note: the footer wraps in a weird way. After the "Search" textbox and "Search," the "E-Mail" wraps, such that "E-" is on the first line, and "Mail:" is on the second line. It doesn't hurt functionality, of course, but it's an easy fix.
