Update the website to ensure the Today with a Techie references are updated.

Add an explanation as to the history and the rename in the about page.

Which page(s) need to be updated, and what do we mean by "references are updated?"

Anything with the abbreviation in human readable text should be changed to "Today with a Techie". This includes the link text to external sites.
I just pushed 392f9ba9e5 to cover this.

Anything that is part of a database or path should be changed to "today_with_a_techie" (updated) "twt_".
This extends to any database tables, filenames and file paths.
Paths to external sites are beyond our control and should be left as is.

@kdmurrayhpr do you want to have a go at this part ?

yep - I can take a look at that.

I assume that we're leaving PHP variable names out of scope for now?

Looking at how many PHP variable names there are, if we really want to eliminate the acronym, we could shorten them by one letter and replace them with things like $twt_startdate

Yes everything should change. Your suggestion to use "twt" is better, so go with that.

What about the ones with TWATECH (in various cases)?

Pull request 39 has been created for this issue for what I felt could be addressed simply. This is the vast majority of standalone instances of the acronym that aren't in external URLs.

A few samples. There are just short of 200 instances that remain in the project, and the vast majority are "twatech.org"

There are some others like this as well

OK this is more complex than initially thought. I'll go through it and apply the changes on a case by case basis.

I can redo the ones for the stats pages if you want; or just leave it be.

Most of the public facing ones would be covered if the episode page is done.

Generator Pull Request 198 Created for this change; looks like a one liner as far as I can tell.
