I REALLY did not have much to do with the success of this site - I am a very small cog in a very large machine. But I am proud of what everyone achieved and want to highlight how much personal effort and dedication has been bled into this by the FCO e-media team. Quite outstanding stuff... granted the late nights were shared by all :) (including you!) Paul, you twitterers kept me sane but I am not sure I passed that on to the rest of the e-media team!

It is a site that works well and is easy to find what you are looking for - well worth the effort and late nights. (Hope us Twitterers helped you through!) Here's to your next one!

I particularly like the way a traditional 'push' marketing site (pushing travel advice and policy thoughts onto readers) has been transformed into one that truely engages readers.
