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...

DIDN'T WE DO WELL!

I just wanted to mark a rite of passage on the bloggo. Tonight we posted the 1000th article on the main blog. The daily bloggo was an idea that Tim Matthews and I came up with during a late night telephone conversation just after Christmas, but I don't think either of us realised how succesful it was going to be. At the moment we have an average of 2,000 hits a day on the network, most of them on the main bloggo page, and if we carry on at this rate we will have passed the half million mark sometime in October.
There is a hell of a lot happening behind the scenes, but a mixture of health, computer, equipment and family problems keep getting in the way so I am not able to move on as fast as I would otherwise like, but sufficient to say in the next week or so you will have the first real news of the Weird Weekend, and I will be posting a series of updates to the bloggodex (have I just invented another word here?) including dear Heather's sterling work on the aquatic monster archives.
The CFZ girls have been doing wonderful work at the moment. Emma deserves a knighthood for her work on WW sponsorship...
