The past week was a very busy and hectic one for me.AdSense kept getting in my way as I struggled to edit the theme of my heavy metal blog with my poor CSS skills.University applications, tiring recording sessions with the band and a bizarre accusation of forgery didn’t help the situation at all.However here I am again,blogging about a blog I love(and contribute too!).

The Beyond Borders blog is the official blog of a youth-run and youth-led organization called….duh….Beyond Borders. I will not describe the organization and its initiatives because you can read all that in the blog,so allow me to move on to the blog.

The Beyond Borders Blog(referred to as the BB Blog from now on) has been running strongly since January,2006.Yes,now it’s more than two years old(”How old is wordpress?”).With 11 die-hard bloggers and equally enthusiastic contributors,the BB Blog will assure you one thing. IT IS UPDATED REGULARLY!And,I mean regularly!

You get quality blogs and you get QUALITY BLOGS.The BB Blog is a QUALITY BLOG.It’s content may vary from sex and gender to conflict resolution,youth,culture to peace and governance,active global citizenship to politics etc…And.no!You will not find what Britney Spears had for dinner last night in the BB Blog!

With contributors from four countries you really can expect good articles from it,but with a lot of diversity.Being around these guys for sometime,I do have an understanding about their different approaches and tones of expression.And the BB Blog is a perfect example that portrays the different walks of life we all come from and what’s more?You can read all that in one blog.

Deane the I.T guru and Guru(his name is Guruparan!) are heavily political in their very strong points of view. Anu and Nipuni prefer to use a somewhat emotional approach to the usually emotional articles they write. Pink Boxing Gloves, the (s)expert brings usually unspoken issues within sexuality and gender to light.Muwahidd is poetic,Sachith is scientific and The Nut Cracker is nutty-yet to contribute,apart from digging,stumbling and redditting-Oh wait!The Nut Cracker sounds like a familiar blog to me,don’t I own it?Ah,yes,I’ve completely forgotten it after I got my own domain….ahem!!!

Another plus point is you will not see a single banner ad,you will not have to click a single link that directs traffic to other third party sites,unless they are relevant.The BB Blog is not there for the money,it’s there to provide food for thought, with the optimum goal of making the world a better place to live.It’s definitely worth giving a try.

Visist the BB Blog here,if you didn’t click any of the links above!!!
