You should definitely have the blogs listed in the country where they were expats ... even after they moved home.  When I look under a country I want to know about who lives or lived there and what their life was like.

I'm kinda changing my mind on the whole repats thing.  I, personally, don't think they should be included.  This is an expat site.  I have no prob with completed blogs (for a year or two), but I'm just not interested in the repat thing, and I like coming to this site to read about expats, and I get very bored with repats really quickly.  But that might just be me.

wow I think I've deleted 50 more bad entries this morning ...

I've updated / deleted around 100-150 entries yesterday evening ...

About repats, we could speak about it in this topic: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1882

(thanks Natalie for all your help!)

http://claremclennan.blogspot.com/ ... she doesn't plan to stay in any one place.  I don't think that qualifies as an expat.  But she definitely should be moved to the pan-european section.

http://www.opyd.com/blog/index.html ... service unavailable?  Does that mean the server was down or what?

That completes my tour of the world through blogs.  I'm also soon to be a repat, so I don't think I'll be hanging out here as much.  A little too painful.  Keep up the good work.
