The Air National Guard has joined the Air Force in consolidating its public Web sites under one network-the Air Force Public Web.

The Air Guard's Web site has a new look similar to other Air Force Web sites currently using the Air Force Public Information Management System (AFPIMS).

A Web-based content management tool, AFPIMS allows the Air Force Public Web to run as one entity and eliminates the need for Web-developing expertise.

"This gives content providers more time to focus on the content and security and policy review of information they post online," said Joe Bela, AFPW chief at the Air Force News Agency in San Antonio, Texas.

Creating a standard template for Air Force Web sites was one of the main goals of the AFPW program, Bela said.
