Did you translate my hacks?

Many bloggers usually link to my blog or some hack but I believe some bloggers have translated my hacks to another language (this I know from the backlinks to my posts). I am not sure how good Google translation is, compared to human translation (I have read those wierd english translations and I believe it does the same for other languages too). So, I would like to compile a list of translations of my hacks for the benefit of non-english bloggers.

If you are one of those who have translated some of my hacks, could you please leave a comment here mentioning the language that you translated to and a link to your blog post which has the translated version? I will add links to all those translations at the top of the respective hack post and so you will get more visitors from my blog. If you blog in some unique language (which you think nobody would have translated yet to), you are welcome to do the translation. I would suggest you start with the most popular hacks such as Peekaboo posts, 3-column conversion, Neo etc. Please always link to my blog as the original source.

Digg succumbs to Mob attack

Kevin Rose (Digg admin) says "Today was an insane day. If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying."

Michael Arrington says "To say what happened today on Digg was a user revolt is an understatement."

Forbes says "Digg turned into what one user called a digital Boston Tea Party."

Me says "Mmm... It was bound to happen someday :)".

Neo for everyone!

Today, I announce my Neo template as a free template for anybody to use. I think it's time to unleash the power of feeds and make blogs faster. Many who liked Neo but couldn't afford it before are now welcome to try it. Do you want to check out how your blog posts will show up with Neo before actually using it? If you have full feeds enabled in your blog, then you can. Just goto Neo demo blog and submit your blog's URL. You will see how Neo works with your posts.

If your blog is new and doesn't have many widgets, then you can download the Neo template (right-click, save as a file) and browse+upload to your blog in Template/Edit HTML tab. You can then recreate your widgets again with Neo. If your blog has many widgets and you want to move them as it is to Neo, just wait for my next post for the instructions.

Let the revolution begin :)

[Later, I wrote this post explaining how to transition to Neo]
