Oscar Jr. Was Here

I noticed there is nothing in UK and Nigeria slots. I'm a nigerian blogging in the Uk if that helps.

Yes, I've only just begun this project. Thanks for visiting -- I'll spend some time at your site tonight. While I have many U.K. blogs on the sidebar, if you know if any fellow Nigerian bloggers, please let me know.

I've got some that you don't have on your list at this link:
http://site-essential.com/bloglinks.shtml

Ms. K, thanks! I'm pretty sure I've taken a few of the links above from your page, but I may have missed some. I'll be back...

I have some on my links page as well.

http://www16.brinkster.com/soulretro/Webthings.html

and this page has a few as well

http://headheeb.blogspot.com/

Thimbleful of Thorns : "Quick jabs at Death and the whores it rides in on" is a blog by an American in Taiwan.

Drop by when you've some free time. Best, M

What an excellent project! Well done!

Remi and Malthusiast:

Thanks for visiting. I've added you both to the list, and hope you'll occasionally post news from your former and current homes.

Perry:

Thank you. I hope this will be a valuable resource. Many of the blogs above really are excellent (including yours, of course).

Excellent idea! I had been thinking about listing my blog links geographically, and trying to find ones as all over as possible. You've beat me to it. I will gleefully raid you for interesting links!

May I propose, for Latvia:
All About Latvia
http://www.russianlegs.com/latvia/

For Ireland:
Fenian Ramblings
http://fenian.blogspot.com/

A Taste of Africa is technically Somaliland if you want to recognize that country (which was independent in the past, before as it is currently being part of Somalia), but otherwise as far as much of the world is concerned, it is indeed part of Somalia.

For Bulgaria:
Xiled in Sofia
http://radio.weblogs.com/0121075/
(An expat working there.)

Guess that's all I can add or comment for now.

Jay:

Thanks!, and thanks for the fine suggestions. I like them all, and have added them. (I had looked at Xiled in Sofia previously, but omitted the site as the author seems to be winding it down.)

If you find additional sites worth including on the list, please let me know.

Just found Peaktalk, in the Netherlands, http://www.peaktalk.com/, courtesy of a mention on Little Tiny Lies.

Jay:

Actually, the author of Peaktalk studied in the Netherlands, but is based in Canada now:

Today I am based on Canada’s Pacific Coast and together with my wife run a small consulting practice that focuses on getting start-up companies organized and financed, business formation for lack of a better word. It has seen me involved in the entertainment, fuel cell and digital media industries and I am now adding the blog to the activities, I hope it doesn’t scare any of our clients.

My point of view is thus North American and by that I mean the U.S.A. and Canada, in that order. Given my background, I will from time to time lace the daily blog with some Dutch and Asian interjections, when appropriate.

I was going to add his blog under Canada, but, given the second paragraph above, haven't yet decided.

Thanks again, though.

Yeah, it does get kinda fuzzy sometimes!

Thanks for adding FARRAGO to your list.

Tou might want to have a look at this for Zimbabwe:

http://africantears.netfirms.com/thisweek.htm

(I am not sure whether it can officially be described as a blog - but I think it is the closest one will get for Zim.)

Flying Chair (flyingchair.net) is a Brit blogging from HK. He does news, too.

(Thanks for the link.)

Farrago:

Thanks for the link for Zimbabwe -- I'll take a look in the morning. I certainly would like to find a blog from there.

Andrea:

Thanks, too, for the HK link. I've been reading your site since the early Instafeller days.

I permalinked this project/post "above the fold" on my blog, in hopes of driving a few more people here. Might not hurt to permalink it at the top of your own site as well, else it'll just scroll out of sight and not get more sites suggested.

Maybe even give it its own page?

Jay:

Thanks for the permalink. I've got one on the sidebar, but I think I'll move it closer to the top of the page.

I like the idea of making the project a standalone page, too.

Have you seen this site?

http://pepys.akacooties.com/

Over a thousand blogs listed.

Linkmeister:

That looks to be a handy resource -- thank you.

Thanks so much for linking! Fairly phoney typhoon season is upon us. Nice to have a clear night sky. (Oops, it's cloudy...) SARS hysteria is muted--but don't access my blog till you've washed your mouse! Best to all, M

M:

My pleasure. And thanks for the SARS warning. I hadn't thought of that.

Good list! You ought to work for
http://www.globeofblogs.com/location.php
they could do with your help!

By the way, I have a list of Ghanaian/African blogs on my site.

Doobs:

Thanks! Coincidentally, I found Globe of Blogs last night, but I haven't had a chance to explore it yet.

I'd also briefly visited your site via, I think, a link I found at Remi's. I hope to explore it more soon.

Thanks for visiting.

http://www.blogmatrix.com/reports/alllocation

David:

Thanks! That site looks helpful, too.

Slugger O Toole: http://www.sluggerotoole.com covers the news from Northern Ireland and Ireland.

There's a new Iran blog in English, http://www.ladysun.blogspot.com/ by a prominent Persian blogger.

Carrie and Jay:

Your suggested sites (and Carrie's site) have been added to the list as noted here.

This project has a long way to go, but I'm liking the list as it develops.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Great idea. I am looking for more expat sites, but if you want to include my site while we are living in Nigeria, that'd be great. I occasionally ramble abou Nigeria and living here as an American. But, also talk alot about my kids!

Thank you, John.

I'll be adding your site on the next update.

Check out Puerta del Sol Blog from Madrid.

John:

Checked out and added to the post.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Here's a Norwegian blog I read regularly:

http://blogs.salon.com/0001561/
(Secular Blasphemy)

Beth:

Thank you for the link and for the suggestion. I'll take a look before the next update of the project.

OJr.

I read this blog regularly. It looks like he's from Canada. Cracks me up too.

http://www.rantdude.com

www.blogwise.com should be helpful.

I also hubly submit my own site www.europundit.com I am Swedish.

Humbly. Gah.

If you put the Head Heeb in Africa, you want to put my blog in Europe rather than Sweden, since it's about the EU. Assuming I'm found worthy, of course.

hi,
great idea, this list!

My English language blog from Germany is on
http://tschwarz.blogspot.com

best,
Tobias

Great Idea. Please add my site to your list when you get a chance.

I'll also have a page of Peace Corps websites that you might find useful:

Thank you, fluke. I hope you enjoy it, and I'm always seeking recommendations.

Hi Oscar, I have recently moved to a new domain,
http://www.cafe151.co.uk/notebook/

Nice compilation! You may want to visit me for a few more Latin American sites.

Remi:

The links are now fixed. Thanks for letting me know -- I've been away from the blog for awhile.

LatinoPundit:

Thanks. I'll have a look in preparation for the next update.

For a comprehesive list of African blogs from around the continent check out the list on AllAfrica:

Nothing for Lesotho? I'm hurt.

Lesotho ( http://lesotho.blogspot.com ) is still not represented. I'm still hurt.

My blog is Voluntarily in China and I currently live in Beijing.
For other China blogs, the largest list is at Sinospice's China Blog List. Another good stop is the aggregator at the group blog Living in China. Living in China's mother site is one called Living on the Planet. This blog network is still under construction but some of the current sites in the network are Living in India, Living in Australia, Living in Latin America, and Living in Europe.

My husband and I are US Peace Corps volunteers in the Kingdom of Tonga. Our blog is http://islandtime.typad.com.

Hi there. Can you add my blog to both the UK and the Wisconsin list, and I spend my time divited between the two. Thanks! :)

Hi, Nigerian blogging from Spain. Please have a look at my blog, Musings and Rants of an African Fem, and see if you would like to add it to your list.

Hi, I'm Lebanese, my blog is ... http://p_blog.blogspot.com/

Oscar Jr.:

Thanks for publishing the link to my blog (Sal DeTraglia's Virtual Tapas Bar) under the Spain category of your webpage. It was quite a surprise when I stumbled upon it. Now, maybe, someone beyond my wife, mother and mother-in-law will read my babblings. If these are my 15 minutes of fame, I'd better uncork a bottle of Cava quickly.

Great idea. Please keep up the good work.

There might be more on my links page. I've probably missed a few.

I'm English and blog some local news and opinion in English from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
http://www.pamela-heywood.com/tenerife

I am a London-based marketing consultant and my blog is about the rapidly changing world of the digital consumer. Great if you can feature it.

I found your site while searching on Yahoo for examples of blogs. I am trying to start my own and I'm trying to learn how this works.

What do you mean by "APPROXIMATELY-English-written sites"? Those sites where people make mistakes because of not speaking English as their native language?

Dave, I probably should have written "at least approximately-English-written," but the sites that you describe are certainly eligible.

A Bhutanese blogger in Japan (for the time-being). I didn't see my country listed, so i thought I'd write in and say 'hello'. :-))
Nice project! :-))

can you please add the blog www.worldpinoy.blogspot.com to your list from the Philippines? Thanks!

FROM MANILA TO THE WORLD, World Blogs Special Edition (www.worldpinoy.blogspot.com)

Hi - I'm living in Almeria, southern Spain. I've been running a blog for a while here about local events called The Entertainer Online at... (you guessed it)... www.theentertaineronline.com
Congrats on your research!

Hi! Thought you might be persuaded to add my Iceland Weather Report blog to your list. Thanks!

Check this blog out. This Bulgarian guy really has his right-wing views down. Don't know how to disagree with him!

For Zimbabwe news and information, please see our blog Zimbabwe's Cry for Justice.

Sorry, misspelled the URL. The correct one is http://cryforzimbabwe.blogspot.com/.

Hi.

If you want to add a blog from Monaco, here is a website hosting some :

http://blogs.monaco.net

Here is another site for your blogs around the world links for Bolivia.

I think this project is a very good idea.
