Committee to Protect Bloggers

We haven’t done a very good job of promoting the forum we created for Blogging and Free Speech Worldwide. If you haven’t visited, please drop by and introduce yourself. You can exchange information and ask questions. Perhaps one goal for the forums might be as a repository for every proxy you can find. Have another […]

I put in a drop-down translator at the top of the middle column. Let me know how it works for you. (Via RRW.)

I’m no longer going to originate Diggs for the posts on CPB. It’s not really for me to do, in the end. As the readers, it’s up to you. If you think others should see the story, Digg it with the button at the bottom of the post. If not, that’s OK. If you’re not […]

If you’re interested in receiving occasional emails regarding the efforts of the Committee to Protect Bloggers, please use the email subscription box at the bottom of the central column.

That last element was in effect this week. USA Today’s main news blog, OnDeadline, linked to our post on Burmese bloggers. Jennifer Woodard Maderazo used the organization […]

We’ve added a Feedburner subscribe-by-email form at the bottom of the sidebar. If you’d rather receive updates from the Committee via your email, enter it in the form and our posts will be automatically delivered to you.

CPB has no Wikipedia entry. The organization’s only presence in this popular, collaboratively-authored encyclopedia are in three other articles. (According to the first, we’re “short-lived.” In the second and third, we are linked to outdated URLs.)
Personally, I have a thing against being involved in the creation, or substantial revision or addition, of a Wikipedia entry […]

I would like to thank Tori and Karam for designing the site and helping me out with techie dealies. Not my strong suit. It is theirs. Tori and Karam, who were recommended to me by FreeKareem.org, were patient and thorough. We really appreciate them. The two of them run Ashtary Design and spent a number […]
