Websites (and blogs) are here one day, and gone the next.
As a result, I’ve been letting link rot* catch up to me the past few years. (*You know, dead links to long-vanished sites.)
Well, since ThePulp.Net is still around after 30 years, I thought I should devote some time to updating it. I’ve been combing through the various pages, updating websites, revising descriptions, and culling dead links.
And I didn’t stop only at links.
If you click on The Shadow, Doc Savage, and The Spider links at TPN, you’ll find new landing pages for each — with introductions to the characters, their histories, and their place in pulp fiction, along with links to the best resources on the web organized by topic. The old pages were link lists with short intros. The new ones combine expanded content with the curated links. Whether you’re new to the pulps or have been reading and collecting them for years, there’s a section for you.
I’ve taken the same approach with the main Pulp Websites page, reorganizing it to make it easier to find what you’re looking for: whether that’s a broad introduction to the pulps, resources on specific characters, or the images and texts that bring the era to life. I’m particularly pleased with a new section on the page called “The People Behind the Pulps,” covering the writers, artists, and editors who created those flaking magazines we so love.
There should be fewer broken links now, and I plan on updating things more regularly. If you spot a missing link or a site that belongs here, please let me know. (Oh, yeah, I fixed the Contact page, too, after I was alerted that it wasn’t working.)
As I said, we’ve been around for 30 years now. I want ThePulp.Net to remain the web’s go-to site for pulp information for as long as possible.
Keep an eye out for further updates and for a new pulp-related article each month.
Thank you for being a part of this pulp life.
P.S. Boy, I’ve been correcting a lot of stupid typos at ThePulp.Net — and some very obvious ones, too. (“One This Date” in the footer? Eye-roll emojii) If you’ve spent some time visiting ThePulp.Net, you should (hopefully) notice a lot of updates, cleaner copy, and many fewer dead links. Good things are still in the works. So stay tuned.
