[Rhodes22-list] A New Website?

[Tom Van Heule]

Jesse - I also understand that nabble data is only partial - something that
there was nothing previous to 2009 in Nabble... but the entirety is where
Peter indicated.  I would like to see someone who knows be able to update
nabble to get ALL the data (or find another way to modernize the UI of all
the archives). Also Nabble, and for that matter our current site have no
SSL certification.  https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/  this is free
and legit - but someone with access needs to go through.

Peter - this looks great, nothing fancy needed, but more complete. Thank
you.  And thank you for not using wordpress (it's a peeve of mine)

aside- we KNOW there are photos that get lost in the archives - perhaps
there is a content discovery tool we can run against the archives - really
most posts with a photo attached are worth indexing?

Happy Friday all -
Tom
