The ban on Wordpress blogs in Turkey is over. I realized this when I saw my feedreader automatically updating the Wordpress blogs I read. For the last seven months I’ve had to connect to Princeton servers first in order to get around the ban, all because the nutty creationist Adnan Oktar convinced a civil court to block access in Turkey to all sites hosted on Wordpress.com.
Now that the ban is over I hope to get plugged back into the blogging world, especially some of the great sociology sites that have taken off since the ban went into effect. Scatterplot is well-known by now and I’ve really been enjoying New Soc Prof’s Weblog. I’m sure there are many more I’ve missed, but thanks to Wicked Anomie and the socioblogopia search engine, it shouldn’t be hard to get caught up.

Thanks, Jim, I’ll try to keep it up to snuff — I’ve noticed a dropoff in my blog post quality (and spelling) lately, it’s comments like these that get me going again.
I’m just glad you didn’t throw in the towel a while back when you were considering it. Keep up the good work!
