Right now I have 26 essays I should be correcting. I really like teaching, just not that part of it. <BR/>J. Kay: I do not consider myself a good photographer but my husband has a good camera so I try to post interesting photos sometimes. I want to stick to the principle of a crime fiction blog but it is hardly against the rules to add some photos :)Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-56243710920913248672009-02-19T20:23:00.000+00:002009-02-19T20:23:00.000+00:00I agree with the other comments about you posting ...I agree with the other comments about you posting in two languages. That is amazing. I agree about photos. I know I love them. Love the one you posted above. Also, you asked on my blog to post a photo of Rippie. That's coming this weekend.

On the other hand, there are parts of it which I cannot use simply because this blog is about crime fiction. I just incorporate what I think is useful and ignore the rest.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-13563253562881745562009-02-18T11:12:00.000+00:002009-02-18T11:12:00.000+00:00Dorte, I have been watching the conversation on Fr...Dorte, I have been watching the conversation on FriendFeed about Feedjit. I'm not going to participate in it there (mainly because the person who raised the topic and I don't see eye to eye) But anyway, I persist in using Feedjit because it does give me useful info about what people are searching for when they arrive at my blog. Sometimes I think they must feel very puzzled by the search results. I notice that your version of Feedjit actually gives different information to what mine does. <BR/><BR/>I'll be interested to see how you feel about the Blog Improvement Project. I did contemplate in doing it but am not sure about doing it.Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-81846061010396912332009-02-18T09:48:00.000+00:002009-02-18T09:48:00.000+00:00Julia: Yes - and no.

And after I made my detour-signs, I think anyone can find the version they prefer (Beth is not the only one who has said so). <BR/>And Beth, I quite understand that people find it difficult to comment on a review if they know neither the book nor the author. It doesn´t matter, really, because I know some of you appreciate them anyway.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-91971510863070566102009-02-17T16:47:00.000+00:002009-02-17T16:47:00.000+00:00Louise: I think Dorte's bilingual blog works well....Louise: I think Dorte's bilingual blog works well. It's very easy to find the English part, and it's not off-putting at all.<BR/><BR/>Dorte: It took a while for me to get comments on my reviews. In fact, some reviews still get only 1 or 2 comments. You should submit your reviews to Semicolon (http://www.semicolonblog.com/) every Saturday. That helps generate some readers and comments.<BR/><BR/>But I think your blog is great! I'm always interested in your reviews.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-16707986330668361912009-02-17T16:43:00.000+00:002009-02-17T16:43:00.000+00:00Hi!I think it's amazing doing your posts in Englis...Hi!<BR/>I think it's amazing doing your posts in English and Danish!

I keep my English and Danish blogs in two seperate places and while I do update the Danish one, it is more or less just the reviews I do there these days. There are not enough comments and activity to keep both blogs 100% alike. All the challenges, Blog Projects and so on get much more feed back on the English one.<BR/><BR/>I think that there are just more interested book-bloggers blogging in English than in Danish. When I check popular non-book blogs, they have large followings and many comments, but the book blogs only have a few. I may begin a bi-lingual blog as you have here and skip doing it in two separate.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-82958339575249491492009-02-17T16:13:00.000+00:002009-02-17T16:13:00.000+00:00Thanks Kim! - and even though I don´t always do ex...Thanks Kim! <BR/>- and even though I don´t always do exactly what I am told, I am certainly inspired by your great blog improvement posts :)Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-43555696428688274122009-02-17T15:25:00.000+00:002009-02-17T15:25:00.000+00:00I think this is a good bending of the rules :) I ...I think this is a good bending of the rules :) I google "Sophisticated Dorkiness" every once in awhile and I still get a little thrill when I see it come up or see new links.
