That’s it.

Oh and: Frederick II liked [sic] Maltese falcons.

I suppose every bloke like Maltese birds, chortle chortle.

For example of five items listed as Attractions – Heritage House, just two are museums; the other three are commercial establishments.

Under Attractions – Natural Heritage, there is just one item on wild flowers at Dingli cliffs. Is that the only natural heritage we have in Malta?

One of the objectives of the website is “to attract cultural tourists to Malta by making them aware of the richness of our unique culture”. This is commendable. But with such sparse information provided, the site gives the opposite impression to any one who is unfamiliar to Malta.

More weaknesses. Although apparently well organised, it is not easy to find what one is looking for.

There are no events listed, giving the impression that culture events are non-existing in Malta.

Is this the best FAA can do with 20,000 euros?

MTA, Heritage Malta and Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti are listed as partners to the site. They should disassociate themselves soonest because it gives them a bad name.

On another matter: A few months ago, in her efforts to defend a commercial establishment at Upper Barrakka, Ms. Vella unfairly and harshly criticised Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna, an NGO which has done so much for Malta’s heritage. Ironic isn’t it?

Gateway to Our Nation’s History

This particular webpage was created using Joomla, an open-source (free) content management system. The theme could have cost a maximum of €100 and development costs maybe €200.

€20,000 for this website? Who writes this stuff?

I concur.

As to the website, well, what can I say, it reflects a cacophony of distortions. Maybe it’s my browsers’ fault, but if you look at the pictures they’re all elongated, as if one were in the hall of mirrors.
