6 May 2009I won’t be doing much posting today and it’s not because I’m nursing a Cinco de Mayo hangover.
I’m spending the day speaking to some high school students about media and identity politics.
So while I go to shape young minds, portanse bien.

Late last night I was reading through some of the site’s stats and I always like to see how people get to our site including keywords.
Now I’m used to the keyword analysis stats that show that many people stumble upon our site while looking for Latino themed porn and are bummed that all the searches for tetas are about me breastfeeding or breast cancer.
Pero last night’s keywords have me saying wtf.
For example: “Why do mexicans do their children’s hair so ugly?”
Huh? And that person came to VL not once pero twice.
and
“What did the latins still from the black man?”
I think it’s steal pero really? That would explain some of our comments.

26 Feb 2009Just because VivirLatino has moved to a new server and a new publishing program does not mean that our comment policy has changed. Anti-immigrant comments will be deleted. If you have to ask if your comment is anti-immigrant, it probably is.

This last attack took us out for a few tear filled days. Yes, we cried. Pero we are back online, will be posting updates, and are moving to a brand spanking new server space and even will be tweaking the template a little.
Oh we missed you and are happy to be back.
The VivirLatino Familia

We were, and still are experiencing some crazy server issues today. We’re sorry we weren’t here for you. I know I actually missed blogging!
We are still sorting issues out so be patient.
