Today, I made DigitalGovNews – an aggregated stream of updates from sites mostly publishing about digital in government. You can find it at https://digitalgov.news/.

It’s very simple – just a single page of PHP and a stylesheet. It sucks in the RSS feeds from a number of sources and publishes them in one place.

It refreshes itself every 4 hours, and sticks a ‘New’ label on anything less than a day old.

My original aim was to try and make it easier for people to follow individual blogs about all things digital in government. Hopefully it does that, and is useful!

Am open to suggestions and feedback – just get in touch with any thoughts you have, including on additional sources to add.

The sites feeding DigitalGovNews at the moment are:

  • Dave Briggs (of course!)
  • Digital Newark and Sherwood
  • Essex Digital Service
  • GDS
  • LOTI
  • Luton DDaT
  • Matt Jukes
  • Richard Pope
  • Tom Loosemore
  • Will Callaghan

Please let me know what you think I should add!

(This list will be updated as sources get added and removed.)
