This Blog is Against Cyber Censorship

March 12th, 2010 Lebanon, Technology, Uncategorized, arab, blogging, campaign, internetTags: censorship, cyber, internet, online

Today (March 12), “Reporters Without Borders” are celebrating the World Day Against Cyber Censorship.

Maybe we cannot relate with the subject in Lebanon since this virtual side of this messed up country is still free (so far) but it doesn’t mean we’re off the hook. If they’re not doing anything about what’s being said in our blogesphere, it doesn’t mean they don’t want to, they just don’t know how…yet!

I mean we’ve seen some of their “intentions” when they tried to shut down the TV show “LOL” because of some “inappropriate” jokes!

To see what we might be facing in the future, nothing is more clear and frightening than the list of the bloggers at Threatned Voices who have been threatened, arrested or killed because of their words online!

What anti-censorship means to me? Freedom! Our most basic right as human beings! We need to be free to express our feelings, thoughts and opinions with no fear of anyone! Censorship by other parties usually ends up with self-censorship, you’ll end up imprisoning yourself if they don’t do it themselves! Which is more dangerous to me..

How companies and governments should act in regard to this censorship? Not by only allowing others to talk freely online, but by making sure they have the means to do so. In Lebanon, they can start by offering a decent internet and telecommunications infrastructure..

New RTL-This Tutorial

November 30th, 2009 blogging, greetings, internet, rtl-this, webdevTags: feast, greetings, internet, news, rtl, rtl-this, tutorial

So I managed to write a simple tutorial that consists of three parts about how to RTL a simple webpage:

RTLing a Hello World WebPage: http://rtl-this.com/tutorial/rtling-hello-world-webpage
Getting to Know the HTML/CSS: http://rtl-this.com/tutorial/rtling-hello-world-webpage-getting-know-htmlcss
RTLing: http://rtl-this.com/tutorial/rtling-hello-world-webpage-rtling

I hope it’s useful to someone

I received links and feedback from several readers about the RTL of the Web. I didn’t expect to get that help that was very kind, sweet and simply amazing. Thank you so much I’ll publish them all soon.

One more thing: if you’re a web designer and have the time and will to design a (free) blog template so it can be flipped in a tutorial and be available to be downloaded let me know so we can work work on something together.
