Did Someone Move the Furniture Around?

clowe-shooting-osprey

Out with the old, and in with the new.

Change is good in the digital age, and while Defense Tech certainly hasn’t adhered to the blogger’s developmental equivalent of Moore’s law, we’re at the top of our game as far as content is concerned.

But now it’s time to step it up a notch and give that killer content a format that befits its punch. So with great excitement and pride I welcome you to DT 2.0.

In this revamped version of the world’s premier military technology blog, the changes are more than skin deep. Sure we have a new logo and layout, yes we preserved the scrolling nature of the 1.0 version, of course we kept all the categories you’ve grown to love (even legacy ones) and the colors and features are this-gen.

But more than that, we have expanded comments and discussion capabilities to feed your appetite for debate. We’ll have features rolling in throughout the next few months that expand the blog’s reach and provide richer, more vibrant content.

The site will be more secure (no more “Ugg” spam) and more agile to your feedback, so please consider yourselves a key part of Defense Tech’s continued evolution.

Thanks, and enjoy the new site!

– Christian

    Despamming alone is worth having to get used to a new look. Wish more places offered real improvements like that when the rearranged the furniture.

    This is an absolutely classic photo.

    Just exactly what do we see here?

    We see the picture of a picture of some hero taking a picture of someone pretending to shoot a machine gun.

    Are these US super heros gunning up a wedding party, or are they blasting away at a family reunion?

    The US military just has to be the most fearsome picture taking bunch of, killing innocent peasants to save democracy, ultra patriots ( mercenaries ), that have ever walked the earth.

    Welcome to hero world.

    Aww, no more Ugg boots? I was so close to looking for where to buy them too! Now we’ll get the male enhancement ads instead!

    Hey Zandor, that’s a bit of a “glamor shot” of yours truly filming the gunner in the back of an Osprey in Iraq…I couldn’t resist…

    “we’re at the top of our game as far as con­tent is concerned.”

    Really? I think since Christain took over things have taken a GIANT step backwards.

    But sure looks spiffy… kudos for that i suppose.

    How can we get our Military​.com account photo to show, like Andy and @earlydawn above have pics? The anonymous gray on gray silhouette things are ugly.

      I’ll find out for sure, Joe, but i think you need to “login” to Intense debate (you can see the icon below) to set up the photo etc.

    Cool…

    How about some kind of soldier / Military machine/guns collage in the background i.e. all the whitespace to the far left and right.

    .…and maybe a spell checker.….just for me.…LOL.

    You guys are great.

    Well they do come in a lot of military colours!

    Anyways… nice change to the look of the website! Liking it!

    Hey bud, I don’t know what browser you use, but if you use Firefox by Mozilla it’s got an automatic spell checker built in. I know. It saves me from looking extra-stupid everyday. ;)

    Like ugg boots

    (I’m joking).

    Nice facelift. And no more “enter number code to post”, which I suppose will be a shibboleth so we can tell who has been around since the beginning.
