Questions?

I read yesterday that WordPress is a blogsite for mostly Afrikaans speaking people.  Being a boertjie myself I don’t have a problem with this.  What I would like to know though is if a blog like mine has a place here (or anywhere for that matter :o~)  My Afrikaans is horrendous, really, especially when I have to write something, programming from English being the ‘business language’, and me reading mostly English books.  Somehow I can’t imagine Stephen King traslated into Afrikaans.  Call me a non-believer.

Speaking of Stephen King, I was honestly of the opinion that he’d lost his touch.  After reading ‘Cell’ and ‘1408′ I was ready and willing to start saving up to buy him a gram or 10 of Coke, really.  Then he wrote Duma Key.  Oh my, what a journey!  It brought back the sense of wonder that I always had with his books, wondering where the hell did THAT come from.  Equal to IT, which along with THE STAND are my two fav’s, Duma Key is a brilliantly written book.  Welcome back Mr King.  Yay, keep it up.

  1. Nee wat, dis glad nie die geval dat WordPress.com spesifiek vir Afrikaanse mense bedoel is nie. Daar is baie Afrikaanse bloggers op WordPress, maar so ook baie ander taalgroepe en engels

  2. Ek will maar ook net vir jou se dat jy erg oulik is hoor!
    Baaie liefde,
