Titusz finaly decided to give English language blogging a try

March 27th, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in Miscellaneous

Babel by TaskenTitusz just finished a fresh install of wordpress with some basic tweaking (alla pimp my blog). he told me (i’am his ghostwriter) to continue writing his blog for him in English language and just leave the stuff that is there in german language as it is. i told him that i am not a native English speaker and it might be quite a mess. he only answerd:
