Thank you, sir, but it's my understanding that is the Oslo edition, which I use most of the time, for lack of other Norwegian sources.

The lady mentioned the "Aftenposten" of some other city, and I am looking for that one.

Thanks to the Oslo Aftenposten last weekend, the Norway ping list excited the largest number of "views" (over 1,000) and "comments" (something like 139) ever. It pertained to an Aftenposten (Oslo) article about a Norwegian assaulting a Swede.

Sir, that is a wealth of information, and I thank you; I have saved those sites as "favorites," with the idea of mining them for stories about Norway.

I am not internet-savvy, but neither am I internet-illiterate. It is just that when I Google things, so many offerings come up on the screen, it overwhelms one.

One time--not recently, but perhaps a year or so ago--I Googled "Norway" and "bison," and got something like 103,000 choices, which kind of, sort of, overpowered me.

Currently, in my search for stories about Norway, so as to illuminate other Free Republicans, I just Google "Norway" and "newspapers," and go from there.

Try Googling "NORWAY" and "NEWS" because not all news comes from newspapers. That way you get all the others, TV, magazines, Blogs, etc.....

Point taken, sir; I had just used "newspapers" rather than "news" because it seemed it narrowed down the choices--the time I had used "news," the first two items shown for "Norway" and "news" were (a) a four-year-old press release about Norway reopening its embassy in Baghdad (this was before the liberation of Iraq) and (b) a six-month old press release about King Harald visiting a bunch of businessmen in Singapore.

Ouch. So then I tried "Norway" and "newspapers" instead.

But in an attempt to broaden the appeal of the Norway ping list (which is considerably shorter than the Swedish ping list by someone else), those days I have more leisure time, I will consult "Norway" and "news" rather than "Norway" and "newspapers."

I assure you, sir, this feedback helps.

.....which is considerably shorter than the Swedish ping list...

Can you imagine how short the Finland Ping List is?.......

[franksolich]

But surely there must be a Finland ping list on Free Republic, sir; there appears to be ping lists for just about any subject in the world here--excepting, until recently, the Norway ping list, an omission which I have since rectified.
