On Tuesday January 20, 2009 at 12:01 pm, one minute after Barack Obama officially became our 44th president, the White House website changed to reflect the new administration.

Some of the new features on the redesigned website include a blog, a weekly video address, and slideshows (here’s a cute one of presidential pets).

The picture below shows the transition the website went through.  You can view the evolution of the White House website, or any website, using the Way Back Machine, on archive.org.
