This one had me hung up for a while. The goal was to comment on a blog written in a language other than your native tongue. My original notion was to go for the foreign language I know best, which is Italian. But my efforts to find an Italian language blog with a post I felt like commenting on were fruitless. And so the challenge stalled out accordingly.

But yesterday, I finally regrouped, changed gears and sought out the Indonesian blogosphere. I quickly found a post with some visuals that spoke to something I could comment on, namely the Ofcom report on social networking. Of course, I had to find a translation tool. Not much out there for Indonesian-English translation, but I found a trial of a tool called Kotaku, which translates the first 300 words of any web page. Close enough. You can find the post, along with my comment and its translation here.
