Topeka ? Kansas is promoting its redesigned government website as fresher-looking and easier to navigate.

The home page is www.kansas.gov , and it links visitors not only to state officials and agency sites but to their social media sites and blogs.

A new mapping feature is designed to help people find state government offices, as well as colleges, parks, libraries and lakes.

Another feature allows people to share photos from Kansas.

Gov. Sam Brownback notes that the state’s website receives more than 4 million visits a year and says the changes will allow people to interact more efficiently with state government.
