Here's his answer--<BR/><BR/>So, the short answer is that if a blogsite is inactive for a long period of time the blogger needs to “reactivate” it with deafread.com. I’d shoot an E-mail to the person who runs the “bionic Woman” blogsite and ask him/her to reactivate their site by sending an E-mail to deafread.com .<BR/><BR/>I hope that this is a satisfactory answer?<BR/><BR/>BTW, I also checked out “…a work in progress” (thanks for pointing out where it was), it also seems inactive.<BR/><BR/>If you enjoy reading these sites via your RSS reader, E-mail the authors and ask them to activate their blogs again on deafread.com (I remember that I had to do so even for my own blog “It is what it is” because I let it die down a bit).<BR/><BR/>There has been some in-fighting on DeafRead with accusations that they haven't been fair in posting deaf blogs.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093639101711800065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204559418819418519.post-32555822775378867362008-01-04T11:59:00.000-05:002008-01-04T11:59:00.000-05:00Abbie,BEAUTIFUL POST!

I sent them an email a while ago inquiring why and sadly I received no response. Then you reminded me again with your comment this morning so I went back there to check and nada, zilcho, zippo (why can't my mailbox be like that?). So I thought maybe I have to submit each blog post (rather silly thinking but you never know) and I did that this morning and still nothing. Thank you SOO much for you taking the time out to make sure that we are heard!Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272667052295179028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204559418819418519.post-11222299992016904352008-01-04T02:00:00.000-05:002008-01-04T02:00:00.000-05:00Hiya-- I hope this is OK.

I noticed you were listed as a blogger on DeafRead and it's been bugging me that your blogs were never picked up, so I complained because I felt that maybe they were unfair to people with CI's. It looks like there was some kind of technical problem, and you're going to be in there now-- all the time maybe. I complained that Jen's blog wasn't being picked up either. I'm such a whiner. . .Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093639101711800065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204559418819418519.post-65930927240893024262008-01-03T22:39:00.000-05:002008-01-03T22:39:00.000-05:00Happy New Year Abbie!

What you wrote in the first paragraph of not being part of the Hearing or Deaf worlds-- I LOVED that. Do you submit your blogs to DeafRead? I wish you would, they need to read you. :-) <BR/><BR/>By the way-- I changed my address to djembeslappin.blogspot.com. Long story, but I decided it reflected a more upbeat representation of my deafened self. Happy New Year!

(It gets long and hard to check off when I'm taking classes.) Some books take more precedence over others. <BR/><BR/>I can relate to the "where do I fit in".

What I liked most about Rebuilt was its unspoken-yet-resounding encouragement to take risks, pursue goals, and do what it takes to <I>thrive</I> in life. Yeah! <BR/><BR/>I've already clicked your amazon link to place an order for Swiller's book -- looks very interesting and I'm looking forward to reading it. (I also have "The Brain that Changes Itself" on order which I hear is quite good; I understand it contains a chapter on the ways the brain responds when sounds produced from a cochlear implant is introduced.) <BR/><BR/>What a delight it surely must have been to meet Chorost and Swiller in person.

I never considered myself deaf, but likely would have had to change that tune if there were no CIs. <BR/><BR/>I am so happy for you that you had the opportunity to meet the authors of those excellent books. I read them back to back.

I read and loved Michael's book when Ethan was a baby and now I have a new book to add to my reading list. I have lived in Swaziland so I'm very interested to read about his experience, especially from the deaf point of view. <BR/><BR/>Cheers to 2008!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204559418819418519.post-60532310024971785982008-01-01T12:00:00.000-05:002008-01-01T12:00:00.000-05:00Amen!
