    Done, Skip to the bottom!

    Over the course of the next hour the LTD website will be undergoing conversion to
    the new format. What this means is that we will spend about the next 15 minutes or so without any visible changes. Then everything will break horribly. Then (hopefully) everything will look right again and we will be on the new layout.

    • Done! - Basic Backups as precaution
    • Done! - Copying new files and breaking site
    • Done! - Configuring Forum
    • Done! - Configuring Wiki
    • Done! - Configuring Blogs

    The Bottom!
    After the rollover we have noticed a number of small items that need attention. Very soon we will begin addressing these small items, a longer list of suggestions that we have been gathering during the beta, and any new suggestions our readers would like to submit in the forum. Very soon we will start a forum thread addressing new additions and include information on the next sets of changes we are working on.

    Naomi Nosonovsky Is it possible to add a search button inside the blogs (individual and all the blogs) somewhere at the top?

    Similar to the Search button at this site, for example, www.berezniker.com

    It would be helpful to have this Search button for Wikis too.
