An Issue Of Freedom Of Speech

[poliphilo]

 Listen folks, this is not the time to quit LJ.

This article  explains what is going on.  LJ is the main platform for free speech in Russia, the hackers are trying to take it down. If we withdraw our custom we're doing exactly what the bad guys want.

Hang on in there.

I was so glad that I'd learned about LJ-Archive last time there was a problem, so all I was missing was the last few posts. (All is now backed up and from now on, I'l be running it daily!0

I actually have another blog on my own website, but though it may be public, it's public in the sense that giving a speech on the top of Cader Idris on a Wednesday in February is public. Not a lot of people passing by wanting to listen! All my first couple of posts achieved was a trickle of spam comments.

However, now Twitter and Googe+ exist, it no longer matters so much where a blog is hosted. If you write an interesting post, you can link to it from one of the popular social media sites and lots of people will be made aware of it.
