Been all around the world.
Monday November 28, 2005; part of: Net stories

I was wandering around net and found this map of Swedish bloggers. Clicking on the smallest red pimple in the heart of nowhere I was whisked to Sorsele (see photo above) where the first snow has just fallen. However, the blogger reporting this seems to be writing from Luxembourg. All very confusing.

I note from the curious map I signed up (look down the right-hand column) that I appear to have a reader on the west coast of Hudson's Bay. America is quite well spotted: there are a couple in Peking, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney ... none at all in Scandinavia. I'm pretty certain that I recognise Florence. Send our love to the greyhounds.

I come from Sorsele but am living in Luxemburg since five years. The map you're talking about only accepts addresses in Sweden, so I chose to register as a Sorselebo. Your photo from Sorsele is lovely!

The first snow I mentioned fell in Luxemburg, Sorsele got theirs a little earlier, but still surprisingly late.

The map doesn't seem to recognize me.

Jorun, I'm glad you liked the photo. I had assumed from the mention of sik on your blog that it had been been at least partly written in Sorsele, since I don't think they are found in Luxembourg.

David, I suspect that you are the mystery blogger from the western side of Hudson's Bay, and that the map has got itself all confused.

Textile formatting works here. Double hyphens are automatically converted to en dashes, quotes are automatically smartened. You can put dashes and asterisks around text to make italics bold and other silly effects easily.
  • Text wrapped in Asterisks which * will be bold. The asterisks must touch each end of the bold text. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Text wrapped in underscores - _ - will be italicised. The underscores must touch each end of the italics. There must a space before the first and after the last.
  • Paragraphs starting bq. will be block quoted. There must be no space before the "b" and one space after the full stop.
  • A hyperlink is made by wrapping the link text in double quotes, followed immediately by a colon, then the URL. If there is a question mark in the URL, wrap the whole lot in square brackets.
  • I use two classes to mark up text that deserves it. sane text looks like this. loony text looks like that. The syntax for those is %(sane)[space] sane text %; loony is left as an exercise to the reader.
