'Heart Of Gold'
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

John - nice site. It's an interesting problem - this is why the BBC (who are in much the same space as you, eh?) defined their web presence as "BBCi" - as in BBC1, 2, 3, 4. It then becomes a serious part of the strategy, a channel in its own right.
Rebecca - you shouldn't have a sitemap because you shouldn't need one - the nav should make the structure of the site obvious on every page. And section titles should be selfexplanatory, so you know where to look.
Cool.
How do you do fake tags - that message should have ended (/Nielsen). It's a nice idea, but only works for some sites. Incidentally, John, in similar circumstances, I've found that bureaucrats are happier being told about the primacy of the web by expensive consultants - it scares them and they agree!
Jim, try

at the beginning of a line.
The mnemonic for that is "t is for tag", by the way.
I hereby declare a moratorium, if that's OK with everyone, on talking about the Big Questions Being Talked About At My (our) Work. Thank you all for your input.

AH! I can get behind "you shouldn't NEED a sitemap". Just saying "You shouldn't have a sitemap" is a little bad and freakish to my ears, though.
I am amused by all the plotting for John and plasmo's company. I think we should charge a buffista group-mind consultant fee. We could rake in the dough--imagine all the stuff we could consult on! Of course, in John's case, it would be in Australian dollars.... t /mean taunting about non-American money

Hah. Hah. Also, it's amazing how seldom sitemaps are up to date.

If you'd put your money into Australian currency at the start of this year instead of, say, the S&P 500, you'd have so far earned a return of something like 9.8%. Plus, the Australian All Ords so far this year have outperformed the S&P 500 by 10%; so putting money into the Australian economy over the last ten months would've been a better bet than the American one by about a 20% return.
Er, if you happened to have a spare few Gs lying around, y'know...
What he said!
But I still believe in my heart that the correct exchange rate is 75c US, 100 Yen, and 50p UK.
Apart from anything else it was easier to do the maths in those days.

To be fair, US$0.50 and 33p UK aren't too hard to work with.
