Blitacorog

27 January 2005. Inspired by .

Blogs are much bigger in Spain than the Satin Pajamas would suggest, with at least two national newspapers also offering free (slightly censored) blogging services to their readers. (If you're wondering why there seem to be so few googlable under 'blog', it's because sometimes they use the term 'bitacora', which means 'ship's log'.)

Of course, a lack of Spanish-speaking judges makes life harder for the awards, but some are also blogging in English, aggregated here. Perhaps we should start an EnglaƱol version - though to be a member, I'd have to start doing some posts in Spanish, and I'm infrequent enough on here without resorting to mangling another language too.

ESL blogging is an interesting phenomenon though. Seems like a good way to learn, if people are nice about it.
