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...

CFZ ON FACEBOOK: Welcome to the Future

I have to admit that I don't really like Facebook much. I know that in this day and age that is pretty much an admission of apostasy, but I don't.

We have had a couple of Facebook Groups for years, but I have never really understood how they worked, and I am afraid that I paid very little attention to them.

However, this afternoon Matthew and Emma came over and dragged me kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.

They have taken over the moribund CFZ Big Cat Study Group Facebook Page and already it looks really rather swish, and there is a jolly discussion going on about Mystery Cats in Weardale.

They also showed me how to set up a Facebook Page for the Weird Weekend and I would be very grateful if you guys could go en masse and click the 'like' button, to make us look massively popular.

Until this afternoon the CFZ Publishing Group page which is meant to cover all of our various publishing endeavours, had been up for months and only had two members. It now has over 200, and a series of lively conversations are going on.

So maybe I have been a hidebound old git all these months. Don't all speak at once...

PS: The Main CFZ Facebook Page is here.
