Sorry I haven’t posted in the last few days, but we received a direct lightening strike that knocked us off-line for a couple of days. But, we are back and collecting stories to post real soon. My apologies also to anyone who has e-mailed since late last week, I’ll be sorting through e-mails for days! Thanks for your patience!

RRW is on facebook!
Update: Find RRW faster by using this link: https://www.facebook.com/RefugeeInfoResource
Well, at least I think it is! Readers have been urging me for some time to link Refugee Resettlement Watch to social networking sites—at least facebook and twitter. I am tech-illiterate, but I think I now have RRW posts available through facebook so that you can share them more easily. Would you try it out for me by “liking” some recent posts!
Also, apparently our contact e-mail address was malfunctioning, so have posted another one (in the right hand side bar). Please send us links to story ideas about refugees where you live (or anywhere else!)—and make it clear in the subject line that it is a news tip!
Thanks! Ann
What are readers reading?
If you are a new reader at Refugee Resettlement Watch you might be interested in having a look at the right sidebar where “Top Posts” are listed. I always find it informative to see what is interesting people from day to day. Of course our posts on Somali numbers are almost always in the top ten. But, today “Fun with Numbers” which gives you a link to State Department databases about what refugees and how many have been resettled in your towns in the last five years was number one—go figure!
See “Top Posts” from time to time
New readers and long-time readers might want to visit “Top Posts” in the right hand sidebar of this page. I find it interesting to see which posts are the most popular on a given day. Some are several years old, but are read as search engines direct readers here or when an old issue becomes hot again. Not all ‘hits’ are, however, from search engines. I am sure in some cases, a reader finds something pertaining to his or her home community and then sends the link around to others.
We’ve written over 4000 posts and had well over a million visitors since RRW began in mid-2007. For a blog with a very narrow focus, I think that is pretty good!
Use our search function (upper left on this page)—it is really very good—by using a few key words for the topic you wish to research.
Out the door….
Readers, sorry I’ll be away for a few days without internet. If I don’t answer your e-mails and post your comments you know why.
If you want to read about some immigration issues, about Santorum getting an A grade from NumbersUSA, about Gingrich and CAIR, about Michelle Obama, about Ken Timmerman running for Congress and about a workshop in Maryland to learn how to become an investigative journalist, visit my other blog Potomac Tea Party Report where I have been busy posting these last few days.
To the reader who sent me a film recently! I lost the e-mail, if you are seeing this, please send it again!
