As the President Obama administration begins to establish itself in the nation's Capitol, its still reaching out to the people who help put them there.
The official White House website,
whitehouse.gov, was updated at 12:01 p.m. on Tuesday to reflect the new administration.
"Welcome to the new WhiteHouse.gov. Change has come to America." reads the headline banner.
In one of the first blog postings on the site, Macon Phillips, the director of new media for the White House, promised that it "will be a central part of President Obama's pledge to make his the most transparent and accountable administration in American history."
The State Department's Web site also received a makeover on Tuesday, with a photo of Secretary of State-designate Hillary Rodham Clinton at her Senate confirmation hearing, along with a transcript of her remarks there, replacing Condoleezza Rice's picture.
While Clinton has not yet been confirmed, the revamped homepage includes her new motto for the agency: "Diplomacy in Action."
