The comments you make here are very pertinent. I agree as someone who manages the website for http://www.twnafrica.org that the AU website could be far better than it is. They could be using JOOMLA software for example. Right now, it i srather rudimentary, as if they are confined to using HTML-based software. Have they not moved on from that? Funny I say that; I LOVE HTML myself! U familiar with http://www.ghanablogging.com? I would like to recommend that you check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ghanablogging, from where I will add you to the list-serv. Look out for ghanablogging on Facebook as well as ghanablogger feeds. Hope to hear from you soonest! Ethel, many thanks for taking the time to visit the AU page on FB.

Especially ironic when you consider the slow links to the Internet which many regions of Africa still experience. Unfortunately the problems with the AU site don't end there, do they?

Unfortunately the problems with the AU site don’t end there, do they?
