I just wanted to explain to those who were wondering why the historic blog content has been taken off here and moved to the new blog at www.gorilla.cd. Basically - in a nutshell - we imported the old blog content into www.gorilla.cd but hid it from Google. You cannot duplicate content on Google because Google spiders pick this up and punish both sites for it by affecting their visibility on the web. About 87% of Internet users use Google as their search engine. So - while we hid the content from Google, we were not successful in hiding the aggregate pages, which are categories, archives etc. And Google then picked up the whole lot. So we had to react quickly and take the content off this site so that www.gorilla.cd would not be punished and rendered invisible. We are already starting from the bottom with .cd in our url - as it is simply not known. (Congo Democratique!) So anyway - I just wanted to explain that to you all and I hope that is clear. If you have any questions please let me know. I hope you are all enjoying the new site - the intention is very much to create a global online community of people who support Virunga and the mountain gorillas. Wherever you are you can join! Very best, and see you on www.gorilla.cd - Samantha Hi guys… I just wanted to explain to those who were wondering why the historic blog content has been taken off here and moved to the new blog at http://www.gorilla.cd.

First you join the site, which generates a login and password and then you hit My Virunga to login with those details. If for some reason something is not coming up try refreshing your page. In Firefox it works if you do control, shift and R. In Internet Explorer you should do Control, Alt and Delete and then close IE there and then reopen again. Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks, Sam Hi Sheryl,

So no problem there at all. The idea of the new site is to provide a wealth of new information (as you can see) on Virunga and to allow people to participate more. Very good question however and thank you for that - I shall make sure this is clear.
