http://lesswrong.com/r/all/recentposts

gives a page which lists all the recent posts in both the Main and Discussion sections. I've posted it in the comments section before, but I decided to put it in a discussion post because it's a really handy way of accessing the site. I found it by guessing the URL.

Suppose you speak a different native tongue and you want to create a Less Wrong similar blog in your language, to produce rationalists who eventually will join Less Wrong (say when the costs of reading in english fall beneath their utility functions expected gain from switching blogs)

Can you pluck that out without being a programmer?

I want to do this but don't know how to go about doing it. Is it as easy as creating a blog in a random blog website? Are the owners OK with that? Can you send me info on how to do it, how much space is required etc...?

The features I'm most interested in are the "create your account" "comment" and "get upvoted". Those seem to be responsible for part of the unusual fidelity of readers.

Less Wrong is a great blog. 

Not all people feel at ease with the english language. 

I recently noticed that Brazilians are almost not available in this rationalist community. 

This sucks, even if it has cultural explanations. So I decided on writing a similar blog model in portuguese (eventually also translating the most important sequences, but let's not get ahead of time). If it is a language barrier issue, this might help. 

Less Wrong design is great, and even though there may be more addictive systems than the karma one, karma is a great one. 

So I wondered if it is possible and easy for a non-computer programmer to copy the website design, writing a portuguese version of it, climbing mount rational, and eventually leading people here (since, obviously, learning english is one of the most important rational goals of a 21st century human).  Maybe it is not possible because it needs editing in formal languages, maybe because it is not allowed. 

But saving the time of building it seems worth a shot. How should I proceed?
