• Blog: Must be a "blog" or other social media form. Websites, even with regular updates, don't count. Should have one or more of: "blog" or "tweet" or "vlog" identity, regular time-based updates, RSS or other feed for following. If in doubt, nominate the site, and we'll adjust the directory to allow for diverse media.

• おおカナダ　リンク ("o canada link"), a Japanese language website with a directory of BC-related and Vancouver-related Japanese language websites and blogs.  
  

Q: What motivated you to make this directory? A: Firstly, multilingual websites are my business. This was a good excuse to research what was going on in the blog space particularly.  Second, it's good evidence that our own back yard may be more multilingual than we think. Third, I couldn't find any such directory already existing. Fourth, the 2009 Northern Voice Personal Blogging and Social Media Conference was about to start, and I wanted to contribute something about multilingual blogs to the discussion. 

Q: Isn't it ironic that a directory about polyglot blogs is in only one language?  A: Yes, it's ironic.  I expect to translate this directory into other languages gradually, though.  Let me know if you'd like to help.

Q: This directory is useful. Will it be here long-term?  A: There may well be a better place for this directory long-term. (Let me know if you have suggestions.) If I decide to move the directory somewhere else, I'll certainly keep this URL intact, and link from here to the new home of the directory.

Q: How can I contact you? A: Use this website's Contact form for Jim DeLaHunt to send a message.
