Major Overhaul for Thunderbolts Site
Whilst The Thunderbolts Project has enjoyed a solid and growing internet presence since 2004, the website itself has gone through some growing pains, largely due to the fact that back when it started, the technology was very different to what is available today. There are now around 1800 TPODs (Thunderbolts Picture Of the Day) and in 2004 who would have thought it would grow to what it is now? As the site and its content has grown the program used to build the site in the first place is now well and truly outdated and so it’s time to upgrade the site software to something a bit more functional.
Legacy archives
As from September 2011 the site will be running on WordPress software, which will allow us much more functionality than we’ve had to date. Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to incorporate all of the existing TPODs and other material into the new system, so everything pre-September 2011 will be accessed as “legacy” archives, via the drop-down menu at the top of this page. This will maintain the integrity of the thousands of external links to that material.
The TPODs and Thunderblogs in the legacy archives are listed both chronologically and by subject (and Thunderblogs by author). All new articles will be archived month by month and can also be also searched by author (click on the author’s name) or via the “Tag/Keyword Search” in the right-hand menu. Also the “Site Search” facility allows for selecting specific areas in which to perform a search.
We hope our visitors soon get used to the new layout and functionality and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you notice any major issues which have been caused by the upgrade.
