We are happy to report that the minor upgrade was successfully done without shutting down the site. None of those August horrors. Kudos to our geeks and hope they catch some sleep. They deserve it. We have added a few features.
Mobile
With cellphones slowly becoming the true computing platform of the future, we have thought it wise to upgrade the site to be able to cater for this growing group. As a first phase we have enabled the site for IPhones and IPod touch. This is still in experimental mode and we shall highly appreciate feedback from the people that are accessing this site using these devices. We have plans to extend this mobile functionality to other devices like PDAs and other smart phones
Archives
We have introduced the archives page that makes it easy for people to to access all the articles we have ever published on this site including comments. This was in response to numerous queries on how hard it was to find old articles. All the articles can now be seen on a single page on the link on the top most menu next to the statistics link
Printing
We have also enable the print option on the articles. The print option by default will print both the article and the comments. However, you can turn off the comments if you do not wish to print them. Hope this helps those doing academic research work on the site.
About Us
Well we finally got round to do this. We have been getting a lot of stick on this. Check it out. We have version 0.1 out of the door
Trivial
Well, we hope the yahoo smilies will add some colour to your emotional expressions. Nothing more to say here.
Special Thanks:
We are glad to report that we are now rated as the top Zambian site by Alexa (http://www.alexa.com/browse?&CategoryID=25784). We were not even in the top 50 last year. All this is because of your continued support and we would like to express special thanks for making this happen. This is truly your success.
At Luskakatimes we take your feedback seriously and we admit that we have not carried out all the requests made by a lot of you, but you can be rest assured that this is not our last upgrade and we guarantee you that with time we shall get to your requests.
Also special thanks to the people that have written articles for the site. We highly value your input in shaping the nature of the content on Lusakatimes. We know how hard it is to take time off your busy schedule to write for LT. Thank you so much.

Congratulations Lusaka times and we love the new upgrade. Keep it up, you are going to be great and a force to be reckon with once you get Lusaka Times on mobile phones which is what majority of Zambians use to access the internet.
I have always heard the saying, “the sky is the limit” but I tell you Lusaka times, forget the sky and reach for the stars.
Congratulations.
don’t be delusional LT, that traffic is generated by a few lonley chaps without lives some of who seem to selp by the screen just to be first on the coments and then say “numbala one” .

Iwe chi #13, the insults you’ve posted accurately reveal the depth of your shallow mindedness. I call on all bloggers to click the red (thumbs down) button on #13 so that his useless comment can come to the attention of LT.
“GaZZie says cool dat ting, LT zing! I only hope we could come up some serious filtering system and a way of barring posts from machines like # 13 … using ifi ma IP address or something.
# 14 mwe Bantu GaZZie afuma mu ku kilika po pa chikumo cha panshi!
LT is working fine on the iphone, keep up the good works.

For us living away from home, we appreciate LT. thank you for keeping us posted on issues at home. we are also glad you are making efforts to improve. i hope you can improve the language though… sometimes the language and tone of reporting is too informal and you use colloquial language. Sometimes you also need to edit for simple spelling mistakes. Elo, add some pictures from time to time. Just pay more attention to detail… kwasila. All in all, job well done!^:)^
