While starting my work in the archives has gone very smoothly, it was a shock to discover that I couldn’t access my blog because many Russian internet providers have blocked all subdomains of WordPress “by a decision of the organs of government authority.” The explanation was that some terrorist groups had been using WordPress. As one Russian blogger commented that’s like going to the doctor with an infected finger and having it treated by cutting your arm off. My workaround will be to send my postings to my son in the U.S. and having him upload the content.
