Committee to Protect Bloggers relaunch bonanza continues
This blog is yet again getting short shrift as my online wanderings are keeping me distracted elsewhere. Mostly I’ve been spending my scant “extra” time over at The Committee To Protect Bloggers as the earstwhile custodian of that bastion of freedom on the webosphere. Do check it out. We’ve made some great strides since its death was prematuraly announced earlier this summer.
We relaunched the site a month ago with a brand new design based on TypographicWP. We’ve also been able to assist in a string of projects about blogging, appearing in an episode of Al Jazeera’s The Listening Post, a Vietnamese language VOA radio program and had a guest commentator spot on Australia’s Open Forum.
CPB is also filling its ranks with new committee members; welcoming on board programmer and activist Austin Heap who is currently building the Haystack Network; Jillian C. York, of the OpenNet Initiative and Herdict Web; and Nigel Parry, the creator of The Electronic Intifada (EI), Electronic Iraq (eIraq) and Electronic Lebanon. Good times.
