I can understand why they do it this way - if other missions are like our office, the people in charge of the websites are totally clueless. I'm the most knowledgeable person in our office when it comes to this stuff, and that's not saying much! Prior to me being handed this stuff, it was the JET programme coordinator who took care of teh website and i use that phrase loosely. They were never hired because they knew anything about websites - they were only informed after being hired that they had to also do the website.

So yeah, the ministry is probably right to severely limit what can be uploaded. The irony is that every year they ask us to provide stats about how the site is used - we can't generate any of those reports! Their own tech people could, however...
