Orange Ukraine gone (mostly) static

Hello to everyone who's still with us out there reading Orange Ukraine, at those, increasingly rare, times that I have been updating the site. It is with quite a bit of sadness that I announce to you that Orange Ukraine will be going static for the foreseeable future.

The gist of the matter is that since Lesya and I have returned to the US to work on the immigration process and will be here through 2009, I won't be able to give you the on-the-spot items I'd been able to up until May. In addition, I have needed to emphasize my editing work, to the detriment of my ability to pass along pertinent information about Ukraine (If you are curious, my site for editing and fiction writing is here).

What you are likely to see in the next few months, though, is more maintenance and expansion of the brand new Philanthropic Ideas page, and also the Book Recommendations page. What I will not be doing much of is the core blogging.

My apologies to all you loyal readers that I won't be able to provide you with the same updates and roundups, editorials and pointers to other news, as I have in the past. I warmly encourage you to look to some of the other great Ukraine bloggers I've linked to: Foreign Notes, Ukrainiana, Neeka's Backlog...

All the best,

Dan
