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...

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...

CALLING ALL BLOGGERS

Jon is still pretty badly unwell, and is unable to work more than an hour or so a day. The current financial crisis here at the CFZ is not helping, but there is not a lot that we can do about that. We are owed significant sums of money at the moment, but sadly everyone seems to be in the same boat, and nobody is paying up. If it carries on like this then God alone knows where it will end. We can only hope that some of the money comes through!

We are not asking for money, (unless you really want to give us some), but what we would like is some more bloggers. This is a collaborative effort, and we rely upon the input of our guest bloggers. So guys, dig deep into your creative writing pockets (if you know what I mean) and send in contributions.

Keeping this level of original content each day is a number one priority for the CFZ, and it is one of the things that is stressing Jon out most. (He would probably be furious if he read this, because he likes to think he is immortal and invulnerable, whereas we all know that stress is one of the worst things for people with a heart condition). So let's pull together, and give him time to recover...
