A Paris-based media watchdog has set its sights on helping anonymous bloggers avoid Internet censors in countries like Iran and China.
Reporters Without Borders, an organization better known for tracking the abuse and murder of journalists, has turned its attention to online protesters with its “Handbook for Blogger and Cyber-Dissedents.”
The French government is providing partial funding for the project which includes technical advice on how to remain anonymous online. The handbook explains how to set up and make the most of a blog, how to get free search engine publicity, and how to establish a bolg’s credibility through observing basic ethical and journalistic principles.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
