Every now and then I get bored and want to change the theme. Feel free to complain/suggest/compliment – but please note that I included the donkey!
I’ve also never used a dark theme – I think they’re harder to read – but it doesn’t hurt to experiment, I suppose.
Global Voices was kind enough to link to this blog, but the sub-heading made me pause – “They Blog In English.” For those familiar with American sci-fi, this brings to mind such classics as “They Came From Outer Space,” “They Live,” and the ever-popular “They.”
It also made me consider something – most of the Moroccan blogs are written in French or fus’ha, not darija. I know, I know, darija’s not a written language, stop ranting already. However, since I’m a blogger who writes in my native language, English, I wonder if I have a freedom of expression that Moroccan bloggers miss out on. Since they’re fluent in French and Arabic, it’s not my intent to accuse them of being less than eloquent – but how different would it be if someone blogged in Darija? Or Tamazight? Would the colloquial terms and slang make it more interesting? Would they feel more relaxed in their writing style? Just food for thought, I could be completely off-base – and if anyone knows of blogs written in darija, please let me know!
