Comment language
Some people have asked me why I write my blog in English. The short answer is that it’s just simply the easiest for me. The long answer will put you to sleep so I will spare you.
But this language thing, just because I write in English doesn’t mean that all the comments have to be in English as well. Finnish and Swedish are just fine, I’ll even manage Danish if I have to… so to this end, I’ve changed the “No comments” text to “Comments welcome in English / på svenska / suomeksi”.
Does that convey the idea or is there a better way to express it? Maybe put it in the sidebar or something? I didn’t do it now because it sounded like desperate fishing for comments…
Or maybe it’s not a language thing at all. I read a lot of blogs but there’s only one where I comment regularly, so I shouldn’t be complaining if the people who read my blog (all four of them) don’t want to comment here, LOL!
On a general note, I wish more people would write blogs. I’m useless at keeping touch by phone and mail, but my RSS reader keeps me up-to-date!
