WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

I have just invested a speculative $35 in upgrading the page count gizmo on the CFZ bloggo. This is mainly because Max, who is a frighteningly intelligent young man , as well as studying animal related stuff for his A-levels is also studying economics, and keeps on muttering stuff about demographics and record keeping to me.

The truth is, that although I am as obsessive compulsive as the next man, my brain just doesn't work like that, and although Max kept on hustling me to keep records of our daily hit count, I kept on forgetting to, and so - in the end - rather than be bullied unmercifully by a teenager, I paid for the Bravenet upgrade.


What was a jolly fun side effect of this was the utility that shows - in map form - where in the world our readers live, and as I write (early evening on friday) it is mildly amusing to look at the whereabouts of you good folk out in readerland.

Now, I am not at all surprised to find that more of our readers live in America than in the UK, and I already knew that we had readers in the UAE, Australia and New Zealand, but please tell me, who are our readers in:

Iran, Islamic Republic of
Bulgaria
Uganda
Latvia
Romania
Croatia
Slovenia
Iraq
Argentina

and a host of other countries where we seem to have one or two loyal readers. Write to me guys and say hello. The CFZ are always looking for more regional reps, so please get in touch
