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 / pÃ¥ 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!

I guess I’m one of the “lurkers”, that read often but rarely comments. Sorry.
I just never know what to say in comments, guestbooks, emails or whatever. If I have something to say, I will say it. If not, I just stay silent.
Oh, btw, I love the new blog!
The design is awesome, as usual, and wordpress is da’ shit!
Lurking is ok
I was really just trying to reach out to the people who don’t like to write in English. This is not like school, nobody’s grading the comments and any language is fine as long as I understand it. 
Did you come up here for some snow mobiling? We’ve got plenty enough of the white stuff now!
Spent last week in Hamra, lots of snow and of course lots of snowmobiling.
But as usual the damn thing broke, and this time the repairs will cost…a lot!
