I must admit that I can't find the gadget that you have on your website. I found a bunch of others, but non that will translate the whole website. Leigh Zeitz (Dr. Z)´s most recent blog post.. HyperStudio is Back!!!!

I have had Clustermap up for some time and it is great to see when you jump a continent. Google Translator is a great idea. I have added it. Better yet, I added it to our school website because we have over 15 languages spoken at homes of students in our school. Great tool for flattening the world. Dave MacLean´s most recent blog post..

Steve, Thanks for all the time and effort to put this together. I'm just now getting back to it after a hectic November. I did add the Clustermaps widget back in November, and I have been amazed that people in China and India have viewed the blog. Is it possible that these are spoofed IP's or should I be flattered?!

Clustrmaps and Google Translate added. I never thought of adding a translator! That’s one of those ideas that makes sense AFTER someone suggests it!

I definitely like the Google Translate gadget much better than the WidgetBox translator I had been using. I switched out the old widget for the Google gadget.

I was DEVASTATED last Feb. when ClustrMaps archived my blog’s map and started me off with a blank map. I felt like I had really earned those dots and I wanted to keep them . . .

Still, since the archive I have some very far flung readers:
Republic of Mauritius (I admit, I had to look up this one)
China
Russia
South Africa
Indonesia
Japan
Saudi Arabia
Tajikistan
Pakistan
Oman
Chile
Peru

Most of my readers are from the Americas and Europe, but I love when a dot pops up that prompt me (a former social studies teacher) to check an atlas

Update*** Suddenly receiving spam in many languages. I'm removing the widget to see if that halts the Russian and Finnish spam. Have saved html in hopes of reinstalling. Kate Tabor´s most recent blog post.. Thank you notes

OK, this is a challenge that I really thought wouldn't apply to me. While I'd like to think of myself as global, I pretty much figured my audience would be centered in the United States with a few outliers in Australia, New Zealand and the UK where I have friends. Until I looked at my stats and realized I have visitors from China, Russia, Greece and even from Tunisia. Wow. Lesson learned. Michelle Bourgeois´s most recent blog post.. Textbooks are Hard

I have feedjit.com widget on my page to track visitors. I am ALWAYS amazed where people come from to visit this little blog I created to share links with my colleages at school! So I found a translator on converythis.com last week and put that on my page. Not really very hard with blogger.
