The interview was about blogging, bloggers and the role they play in educating and informing the people. Obviously, it was conducted in light of the recent Chief Justice episode.

This happens to be our 100th post. We started a little over 3 months ago and in that period we have discussed a wide variety of topics. Many of you are new to the blog and have only joined us after the entire Chief Justice episode. I would like to thank you on behalf of all who have written on MicroPakistan for reading and commenting on our posts. This post is about nothing in particular, but is just to mark a landmark post because it has been achived in such little time. We would like this blog to grow into a forum for discussion for Pakistanis and non-Pakistanis from all walks of life concerning all kinds of issues concerning Pakistan.
If any of you would like to contribute to this blog, to write for us, to submit articles, to submit videos or photographs please let us know.

We have now registered two top level domains, www.micropakistan.org and www.micropakistan.info. Hence, from now on you can use both these addresses to access the blog.
It has come to our attention that Wordpress.com has been banned in Pakistan and that means that the blog cannot be accessed from Pakistan. Once we are able to get a hosting provider to put our blog on it should be freely accessible, but till then there are certain websites that can be used to get around this problem. Now, logically speaking people from Pakistan would not be able to see this post as they have no access to this website so if you know anyone who has not been able to get to the blog please direct them to the following websites.
Proxify
Anonymouse
Here they can access the blog by using proxies. If anyone knows of a better way to go around this stupid ban then please let us know. Thank you!
