Mishka Zena

Thanks very much to Tayler Mayer for his generosity and quick action.

One subscriber informed him that many school systems have fire walls blocking access to public sites, such as xangas. Due to these firewalls, employees of many schools for the deaf were unable to follow the protest closely on the Internet. Quick-thinking, Tayler Mayer hurriedly set up alternative sites so the Xanga Bloggers can continue their reporting of this historical protest. I was in a florida hotel, furiously working to keep the readers informed while taking breaks to visit an ailing mother at the nursing home. I didn’t have time to look for nor set up a new blog, but Mr. Mayer took care of this business part, permitting me to continue my work.

I find this new site much more accommodating to the readers. Unlike Xanga, this site doesn’t require registration at all , so the readers are free to leave anonymous comments without fear of reprisal.

Thanks, Tayler, for making Best of Deaf Blogs possible and also assisting us the bloggers in keeping the readers and the protesters informed, despite the efforts of Gallaudet Administration to sever all communication lines to the outside world.

The new blog is: « Mishka Zena
