   WASHINGTON -- When President Bush's whitehouse.gov site opened its
   virtual doors on Saturday, it wasn't without glitches: The First
   Homepage was riddled with broken images, placeholder messages and bad
   links.
   
   When asked about the state of the site, a harried White House
   spokesman said, "we're still trying to get everything up and running
   here." Monday was the first day at work for Bush's new press aides.
   Bush transition spokesman Tucker Eskew could not be reached for
   comment.
   
   Wired News spoke on the phone to Jakob Nielsen -- design virtuoso and
   well-known Web usability critic -- about what's good, what's bad and
   what needs to be fixed on the U.S. executive branch's Web window to
   the world.
