Back Up and Running

BEIRUT -- Hello all. Here at Back-to-Iraq.com, we're back up and running at our new, zippy servers at LivingDot.com (who have been lovely, really.) Yahoo has been left in the dust, which was a long time coming. The domain may take a little while to propagate out, but within a couple of days, things should be back to normal.

This downtime came at a terrible time, what with things hotting up up north at Nahr el-Bared and Iraq always on fire. I've also got a nasty eye problem at the moment that prevents me using the computer for long, but that also should be cleared up in a couple of days.

In other news, I'm due to start a column for Spot-on.com soon, which will in theory put me on the Op-Ed pages of the Washington Post.. Look for that to happen this week or next.

I'm also the new US media roundup writer for IraqSlogger.com, Eason Jordan's amazing all-Iraq news site. Please be sure and check it out.

So, as soon as the eye gets better, I'll see you all (heh) then. In the mean time, I'll bug Johannes to write some more posts.

About me


Hi there! Thanks for stopping in. I'm Christopher Allbritton, former AP and New York Daily News reporter. In 2002, I went stumbling around Iraqi Kurdistan, the northern part of Iraq outside Saddam's direct control, looking for stories. (Some might call it "looking for trouble.") In March 2003, I made it back in time for the war, becoming the Web's first fully reader-funded journalist-blogger. With the support of thousands of readers, we raised almost $15,000. You can read my dispatches here. It was one of the moments in journalism when everything worked. It was a grand -- and successful -- experiment in independent journalism. In 2004, I moved to Iraq, where I would spend the next two years. It was a raucous, scary and exciting place with a lot of news going on. But I've since moved on to Beirut and the wider region. I now report for a variety of outlets.

Won't you consider donating to support reportage from the Middle East? Your generosity directly feeds reporting costs such as visas, travel, fees and other expenses. I already have a bullet-proof vest, so no need to fund that.
