Ann at For the Long Run noted that "There are seven continents but only five Blogday spots." Ann did find a blog from Antarctica -- Phil Jacobsen's blog from the McMurdo research station.
And finally Global Voices, which is a terrific source for voices from around the world, used the day to thank their international editors including Georgia Popplewell, Regional Editor, Caribbean; Nathan Hamm, Regional Editor, Central Asia; Haitham Sabbah, Regional Editor, Middle East & North Africa; Neha Viswanathan, Regional Editor, South Asia; and Sokari Ekine, former Regional Editor, Sub Saharan Africa.
