If you are in the habit of logging in to the site when you visit, you may have noticed a series of eight grey buttons at the bottom right of each screen.

The first five buttons are particularly useful, and I probably should take the time to discuss them all individually at some stage, but I thought it might be cool to discuss the "discuss" button first.
The whole purpose of the site is help Councils to share information, and starting or participating in a discussion about a given topic is probably the easiest way for someone to get started.
If you have a question about the content of a page or you would like to make a comment about it, simply click on the discuss button and type away. It's that easy.
The number in brackets indicates the number of comments made so far.
If you want to see what topics are currently being discussed, click on "Recent posts" in the side menu.
If you are up for a discussion, but don't want to do so here - thats cool too. The Mailing List page contains a nice list of Local Governnment realted discussion groups not affiliated with this site. If you haven't got time to look through them all, my suggestion is to try the Google Wave first.
