Are You a Vietnamese Blogger?

Vietnamese

Full, 62.5 (That's me!), half, quarter, .001. If you consider yourself Vietnamese, you blog, and you'd like to be added to the list, just let me know. This list is not meant to be comprehensive. I'm not including non-Vietnamese who blog from Vietnam for instance. Also, I know there are personal diary-like blogs out there written by Vietnamese, but I don't want to invade their privacy by listing them here. However, if you'd like to be added, just leave me a comment. Please tell me what city and country you're blogging from. Inspired by Santos of The Scent of Green Bananas' list of Asian women bloggers, I thought this list might be of interest to Vietnamese or others who would like to explore blogs written by Vietnamese. Blogs do not have to be about food, but they must be current. Are you a VNese Blogger? Say it proud! Say it with this handy-dandy little button I generated courtesy of Adam Kalsey. Thanks Adam! Choose whichever one you'd like. Please don't link to the button, save the button to your computer and have that button link back to this post. I'm not sure how to do that in other blogging platforms... ...but in Blogger, click-through to the image only, and save the button to your computer. Then create a post and upload the button to your blog, then right-click and highlight the whole button and link it to this post. Then go into "Edit HTML" mode and copy the whole HTML. Then go into "Layout" and choose "Add HTML/Javascript" and paste the whole code there. You can then discard the post. Voila! The "VNese Blogger" button should appear on your sidebar. After that, you can move it around wherever you wish.Take a look at the bottom of my sidebar to see the button. Click on the button and it should take you directly to this post. Drop a comment if you'd like to be added to the list. As is my wont, organized alphabetically, first by country and then by blog name. If you move, please let me know so I can update the list.

  2. You know, this is going to sound weird, but I've never thought of myself as a Vietnamese blogger, though it's true. Maybe it's because I don't do anything particularly Viet in my posts. But thanks for the start of a list - I always like exploring new bloggers :-)

  3. i am not a vietnamese blogger but i think this is a fabulous idea :-)!! i think diane of white rice couple is vietnamese...im not sure though

  4. BC,
    I think you're the first other VNese food blogger I "met." :)

    Nikki,
    We all blog about different things, our ethnicity is just the starting point of the list. That's why I didn't include non-VNese who blog about VN. I think it's more interesting to see what other VNese are choosing to blog about, than simply discussing VNese things all the time.

    Dhanggit,
    Yup, she's already on the list.

  5. So great to have this list, WC. I've been wanting to get together such a list and here it is :)

  6. What a fantastic idea, WC! Thanks for adding me to the list. :)

  7. Great list. Thanks for compiling it and including me.

    Lan from Angry Asian Creations is another Viet blogger from Maryland. Her blog is a combination of food and crafts. BTW, she's not that angry. ;-)

  8. Christine,
    It's really a rather short list though.

    Tia,
    Of course I had to add you.

    Chuck,
    Thanks for giving me another suggestion.

  9. Hi, just flew in from Elmomonster's blog. I'm 1/2 Vietnamese and I'm from Socal. Do you think you can add me? Thanks in advance!

  10. WC: I have another one which is (I hope) a great East Coast resource. I haven't updated it in awhile but there is a long list of Vietnamese related links on the sidebar.

    Nice compiling!

  13. Hi Thao,
    I'd love to add you. Can you tell me your city and country? I wish I knew French so I could read your blog, but I'm sure someone else who can will be glad to find your blog.

  15. PE,
    I've found several new blogs this way. Pretty cool, but I wish there were more of us!

  16. Wanderingchopsticks, can you please add me to your list? My blog was just born yesterday, much inspired by your blogging series. I was J/DocJ recently until I got this blog started. I'm hoping to focus more on the eastern SGV,where I live, although there is a rarity of good eating places around here.

  17. SIS,
    Well, I'm flattered my blog inspired you to blog! Adding you to the list. Your blog looks great! Must be from my advice. ;)

  29. Hi WC,
    I stumbled onto this entry after having lurked for a while. With the exception of a couple of things, my blog is not VN-centric, although I am Vietnamese. Do you think I could join the club?!
