Welcome to blogial

Welcome to Blogial.com. Blogial is a small blog network started by two friends who had two seperate blogs.

I have a blog about Free and Open Source software but I had always wanted to blog about various other topics like programming, about my city, etc., but couldn’t dedicate my time on a seperate blog for each topic. Also I didn’t want to post these stuff in my personal blog. So, when Sudarsan started a blog about programming on wordpress.com, I suggested that we start a small blog network where we can cross post in each others blogs. I also had another friend from school Anish, who also wanted to start blogging and so we all joined together and decided to blog about various things that interest us.

Yeah, we know blog networks aren’t much of a craze these days, but blogging isn’t dead. People love to blog and express their opinion about things they are passionate about. We love to blog and passionate about it. This blog network isn’t here to make big money or compete with the big names out there. But we are here to build a social community around blogging.

So, what can people do here are blogial? You can register for a user account and do two things. You can ask for blogging permissions to an existing blog or request us for a new blog about your favourite niche. Just mail us your details, links to your blogs and explain about your blog niche and send us some sample posts.

We plan to grow the community using word of mouth - so if you think someone else may find value by blogging here, send them in.

Right now I am busy setting up the site (we use Wordpress-mu) and trying to import my blog into this. We also want some good themes for the site and a logo. If anyone can help us out in that department, we could probably post about you here and link you.

    nice attempt. Wishing you all success. I hope you’re using a wordpress engine. It looks good, that you have put attention to even minor details like the favicon.
    Even I manage 4-5 blogs of different genres. Will try to get some traffic to you thru that.

    Thanks. If you find anything interesting and if you are unable to manage too many blogs, just post it in here. We can help you manage. Right now we have plans to start mycity.blogial.com, which will be about our cities. Each city will be under a category. Hope you have too many interesting news to put about your city in there. I have also added http://www.thecodevalley.com/ in http://codelog.blogial.com, as a blogroll.

    @codevalley:
    Great to have you here. Yeah, we use wordpress mu to handle multiple blogs. Maybe if you want, we can host some blog of yours here.

    @sudarsanyes:
    Instead of mycity.blogial.com, I have created a blog specific to India - http://in.blogial.com/
