"The launch of the Scotland Office site www.scotlandoffice.gov.uk showcases a new look and feel for the government department, which aims to clarify the role of the Scotland Office and its involvement in the day to day devolution issues in Westminster and Holyrood. The Secretary of State for Scotland is a keen advocate of new technology and the site incorporates both his blog and Twitter feeds."
"We've implemented some effective social networking tools for the new Scotland Office site. This includes a blog - blog.scotlandoffice.gov.uk - and a Twitter account for the Secretary of State, which will feed recent posts to the blog. The blog also has an RSS feed to help people keep in touch. This really is e-democracy through Web 2.0 and shows how modern government is keen to engage with the public through technology."
"Civic has also launched a new site for the Office of the Advocate General (OAG) www.advocategeneral.gov.uk which follows a complementary look and feel to the Scotland Office site. The OAG provides legal advice in relation to Scots Law, instructs United Kingdom legislation applying to Scotland and represents Government departments in litigation in the Scottish Courts."
Civic launched two websites: www.scotlandoffice.gov.uk for the Scotland Office and www.advocategeneral.gov.uk for the Office of the Advocate General. The Scotland Office site presents a new look and aims to clarify the department's role and its involvement in devolution matters at Westminster and Holyrood. The site incorporates the Secretary of State's blog, Twitter feeds, and an RSS feed to distribute posts and encourage public engagement. The OAG site uses a complementary design and outlines the OAG's role in providing legal advice on Scots Law, implementing UK legislation for Scotland, and representing departments in Scottish courts.
