Some Bay Area Baha’is and I have been working on this project called Bahai Top 9 (with precursor site bahainine.com). It’s basically going to be a popurls-look-and-feel, newsvine-styled-organization web portal with digg-like-capabilities in order to showcase user-generated content about the Baha’i Faith.
Our first phase in the project consisted of finding either personal blogs written by Baha’is or Baha’i-inspired blogs that are out there today. We also collected photos from flickr and videos from youtube which are tagged bahai (or baha’i). The design and backend of the site has been keeping us very occupied. :)
At this point, bahainine.com has a registration form for your blog and a map of the world with markers for the locations of the Baha’i blogs out there:
Thanks to those of you that have linked to us and encouraged your friends to register. Also, the Official United States Baha’i website has written a nice article about Baha’i Blogs.
For all the faithful “Kevin’s Blog” readers out there, I’ll include a screenshot of the design we are currently working on:
Keep in mind that it’s in a very early stage of development (alpha). Feel free to include your feedback as comments to this post. I will be sure to pass it on to the team.
veeerrry cool! thanks for the development sneak-peek. this is a great initiative for those of us who are interested in Baha’i blogging.
