Transition

Posted on 1 February 2011 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I have decided to switch (back) to blogging in English. I realized after polling on Twitter, Facebook and some other sources of hits that many of my blog’s visitors can’t read Dutch or that the Dutch are not put off by blogging in English.

Since I like to have all my (international) friends read my blog as well I like to switch to English and see what happens. It might backfire since there is always the possibility of losing all my Dutch followers, but we’ll see what happens.

This if, of course, a trial. I will monitor what happens on my blog and measure reactions, hits and response on Twitter and Facebook for a couple of months and then I decide if I will continue in English or switch back to Dutch.

About Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

I'm very interested in booze, with a focus on whisky. I like to listen to loads of music and play lots of Magic: the Gathering, and board games too. I'm married to Anneke, have two daughters Ot and Cato, a son Moos and a cat called Kikker (which means Frog, in Dutch). I live in Krommenie, The Netherlands.

Tried that, can’t be done in WordPress. I would have to manage two blogs at the same time.

Well, English is not really a problem, but I was glad to finally have found another Dutch whiskyblog 🙂

But alas, keep up the good work.
