Blogging Gal

According to its About page, ShanKri-la was designed to “disperse information about technology that can make our lives a little bit easier, a little bit more enjoyable, and a little bit more manageable.” Having been an avid reader of the blog for nearly six months, I can testify to the fact that it is accomplishing its mission. It has quickly become one of my favorite destinations on the web.

ShanKri-la is authored by Karthik, an IT professional residing in East Lansing, Michigan. He is married to the lovely Shriya of Spicy Tasty. Today is Karthik’s 30th birthday, so this review is my little way of wishing him a wonderful day!

The ShanKri-la archives date back to October 2006 and are chock full of articles on blogging, web applications, and various other internet related topics. Every now and then, we even get a little glimpse of the man behind the blog. ShanKri-la currently boasts more than 300 RSS subscribers and a PageRank of 4.

I’d like to highlight a few of the many wonderful posts on ShanKri-la.

Top 5 Must Read Blogs - This post introduces some great blogs related to technology and blogging. I can’t believe that Karthik forgot to include Blogging Gal on the list!

I can’t possibly do the blog justice by shining the spotlight on only three posts, so I ask you to check out the wealth of information on ShanKri-la for yourself. The blog is visually pleasing, easy to understand, and frequently updated. It will make a great addition to your feed reader. When you stop by, be sure to wish Karthik a happy birthday!

Happy birthday, K!
