    To be honest your post here isn't that bad regarding your english, as long as people can understand your blog posts it shoudn't matter too much.

    80 percent of the content of the Internet is written in English. Yes, English will always play a major role in blogging. For now.

    Well definitely. Visitors’ mood will be turned off if they come across a blog with bad grammar and that includes myself. Anyway, weak in your command of English language should not be an obstacle if you take the effort to learn up and become proficient in it.

    Sign up for an English language course then.

    There is also a demand for regional language blogs. I don't know what yours is, but if you do not know English, it is certainly not the end of the world.

    Have to disagree.

    "For now" ?

    For always as we get closer to a unified world language.

    The choices will always be between English, French and Spanish, with English eventually winning over.

    Well.. English is spoken at a larger extent. Therefore, a blogger would pefer to tap a wider section of people by writing a blog in English.

    yes good English is important, you can improve your English by regular practice....
    There is also demand of Regional language, you can create a blog in Hindi or other language which you like.

    if you are posting entirely original content, you can get away with bad English. By entirely original, I don't just mean writing your own articles, I mean as a writer,if you have original ideas, and a new take on things. Otherwise you're just competing with people who can do what you're doing a lot better than you.
    In your case, your English is good enough to be understandable, but there are a lot of mistakes, which makes it look amateur and slap-dash.

    If you're that bothered, then you can always try using a translator, and then maybe offer someone a little incentive to check the grammar etc

    Doing a blog in a language other than English may actually be helpful in creating a niche. There may be so many blogs about <$foo> in English that you never have a chance of being the best. Being one of the few blogs about <$foo> in, say, Punjabi might be a better proposition, if you can benefit from focusing your marketing better. And this principle applies pretty much whatever <$foo> is, and whatever the language -- isn't there quite a large community of Persian blogs, for instance?
