Hi!

Please see what Jannis has done to that section:

The list is great but there are some problems with country selection.

English, Commercial and Finnish are not countries

I know the USA is unpopular these days (I didn't vote for the joker!) but could we be in that list too?

We're covered under "English (American)". But you're right, that's not a country. I wonder if the list is supposed to be covering languages, not countries?

Jannis?

I personally think splitting blog categories into location and language is silly, it should be one or the other. I'll give a specific example, if I'm a native German speaker I wouldn't necessarily know to look in Africa (Namibia) for german language blogs yet one might exist that I would miss. Similarly, if I'm Italian I would naturally look at the Italy listings, and might then miss any listings from the US or South America.

On the other hand I understand that people also want listings from specific countries so maybe its time to make the 'who's using' section searchable, and then get rid of the categories and use pre-defined tags instead. Place a maximum of 4 or 5 tags per listing so that the search results aren't manipulated and voila, everyone is happy.
