New Look, Same Goodness

| 4 Comments

You may notice things look a little different around here. I finally found some free time (and energy) to fix this damn blog, which had been nagging at me for a while now.

Gone is the old design — but enough remains that you should still feel comfortable. Comments are back again, so yay, more spam in the comments. Hopefully you all will make use of them.

There are still some tweaks and other little things going on, so kick the tires. If you find something that doesn’t work or look right, drop me a line. In the meantime, I’m getting ready to get married, so December ain’t going to be very interesting, I’m afraid. But 2008 is a new life, a new wife and all that, so things can only get better, right?

Congratulations.

The comments, or the spam?!

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. Hopefully, your knack for stumbling into war zones only applies to your professional life.

Congratulations on getting married Chris - I’ve been a reader for around 3 years, and am recently married for 8 months myself. Being married IS - different. But better.

Hah! Probably one of the most interesting months of your life! Congratulations and best wishes to you both for a long and happy life together.

And congrats also on getting the new look and the comments working.

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.
