Just a short note to update everyone on a few issues; A Restatement of Objectives Just for the record, Think Defence does not have an agenda or a campaigning stance, it is not funded by anyone but me, there are no vested interests and the only objective is to get people talking about UK defence issues. Comment Moderation I have [...]

I have changed slightly the categories and front page design but the main change is to add a News, Images, Videos and Brochures category in which I am going to do what it says on the tin; post brochures, images, presentations, videos and news items as single posts. I had been using the Think Defence Tumblr site but I am [...]
Over the Christmas break I plan to do a spot of redesign on the site, new visuals, new hosting environment and one or two other things. Think Defence will therefore need a new tag line as I am a bit bored of ‘Another View on UK Defence’ If anyone has any better please shout them out in the comments. Also, [...]
Just a quick update. Have split the open threads into subject areas, fill yer boots. Lots of new commenters the last few days, welcome to all, the TD empire continues to grow mwah ha ha mwah, one day, you will all be converts to the Order of the Metal Box :) Ending on a question… Should I adopt a tighter [...]
Or Why I Only Pick on the Royal Navy. A number of commenters in a previous post have criticised the general one sided approach they see me taking, only being critical of the Royal Navy, diminishing its role and concentrating on the other services without being critical. To that I would simply say, what a load of fucking horse cock. Of the [...]
One for your reading list http://securityscholar.wordpress.com/ ps Sorry for the light posting of late, working on a couple of big ‘uns
Following on from our discussions on how to structure Think Defence and support the sharing of links, videos, quotes and links I have set up a Think Defence Tumblr. Tumblr is a micro blogging platform that makes it very simple to share images, videos, links and other content without creating a full post on Think Defence. http://thinkdefence.tumblr.com/ On the [...]
I have added the following features to the site following reader feeback, thanks everyone. Page Navigation At the bottom of each page is the ability to move directly to a page or move forward and back. This is an improved implementation of the ‘older’ and ‘newer’ system Comment Editing For 10 minutes after you have posted a comment it remains [...]
Passing the 20,000 comment mark recently, traffic increases leading to the need for a different hosting approach and the subjects that pop up that I have covered before several times got me thinking about the structure and aims of the blog, what next for Think Defence? With just under 900 posts and a huge wealth of knowledge in those comments [...]
Sorry for the flaky site performance today. Because of significantly increased traffic to Think Defence, I have had to implement a number of performance improvements which of course had a few teething troubles. Hopefully things have smoothed out now but I would appreciate any feedback on site speed and performance, does it feel snappier than before, slower or no change? [...]
As you all know, one of my pet hates is corrosive inter service politics, whilst some degree of creative tension between the forces might be seen by some to be a good thing, I do not. Because however good intentioned, supposedly improving the lot of all, it always gets out of hand and is exploited by people with an agenda. [...]
I was going to do this as soon as we hit the magic 15,000 comments mark but I forgot in all the Libya and carriers stuff! This should be a semi regular feature to let you all know how you are contributing to Think Defence, after all, it is the readers, authors and commenters that make this site what it [...]
As you know, Think Defence likes to see more people ‘talking about defence’ so when a new site opens for business its always good to provide a heads up for everyone, get it in your news feeds. National Defence Industry Extra A blog covering news and developments within the global defence industry has just been re-launched. National Defence Industry Extra [...]
