Cyrus Krohn is beginning to leave his mark on the Republican National Committee. The GOP’s eCampaign director quietly came to Washington this summer from his job at Yahoo! in sunny Santa Monica, Calif., and since then he’s been doing solid work behind the scenes to make sure the RNC is ready for the 2008 elections.

After using his online wizardry to help Gov.-elect Bobby Jindal cruise to victory in Louisiana, Krohn turned his attention to revamping GOP.com, a site that was in need up a new look and additional features. The result was a crisp and clean redesign. Users of the new site will find it easier to keep current with the RNC via Facebook, on del.icio.us or Digg or through updates on Twitter. Ronald Kessler wrote an extensive review of the site for NewsMax.

Perhaps even more important than the website is the team Krohn is assembling. Blogger James Richardson has been working at the RNC for several months and keeping the site’s blog up to date with fresh content. Today I learned Krohn has tapped Republican strategist Liz Mair, formerly of GOPProgress, for the job of online communications director. Mair is already hard at work organizing the RNC’s virtual blog row for Friday, a day after the Iowa caucuses. Although Liz and I have differed in the past on some policy matters, there’s no question she’s good at what she does.
