Over the years I’ve developed a habit of keeping things really simple and to-the-point. Let me put it into practice. slBlogs is a blog syndication network, currently only available for Sri Lankan bloggers (don’t worry, the key word here is “currently”). But here’s the most important thing. If it were not for slBlogs, I would not be writing this blog post in the first place. Confusing? Well, here’s the story.

I read a blog post written by RumblingLankan about BlogsWeLuv, which was featured on the slBlogs homepage. If it were not for that, I would not have even seen this amazing site, let alone become a contributor. (Thanks Tish and Mike, you rock!!!)

The concept of slBlogs is really simple. If you are Sri Lankan (that’s for the time being) and if you have a blog which is updated frequently, you can syndicate your blog to slBlogs. And whenever you update your blog with a new post, it will be featured on the slBlogs homepage until it’s replaced by new blog posts.

Even if you are not Sri Lankan, here’s why you should check it out.

• I came across many great bloggers and blogs thanks to slblogs. Well, since slblogs requires your blog to be updated frequently, the chances of you coming across those “once a month” blogs are very rare. And obviously, frequent bloggers blog frequently because they are passionate about it, and thus become probloggers who offer quality content always, all the time.
• They give away too much free stuff. First they gave away a free domain for a year. This was their first ever blog contest and apparently someone by the name of Mithila won it. (Ahem!!!). Now, two weeks later, they are giving away 3 more domains with 1GB bandwidth for one year. Yes, you read it right, 3 domains! 1GB! 1 year!
• The staff is ultra cool. Slblogs staff members are so helpful that they willingly share their messenger IDs when inquired, with the sole intention of helping you out. The most important thing is that their support is free to anyone. You can contact Nirosha Kodituwakku from slblogs for more information.

So, all in all, slblogs is worth checking out. As I said, I wouldn’t be writing this if it were not for them.

Note: I do not get paid by slblogs for promoting their site!!!
