Sri Lankan Blogspot

One of my friends pointed me to blogs.lk , a site where you can create a blog for free. It looks pretty similar to the standard Wordpress dashboard and you have some in built in  widgets ready to be added to the theme. There are some Wordpress themes added so you can change the theme to suit your need as well. The tricky part is the Adsense revenue plan. You can add adsense blocks but they are shown in 60-40 sharing mode. That means for every 100 impressions your ads will show 60 times and there ads will show 40 times. With services like blogspot where you can get 100% of your ad earnings why should anyone want to share there revenues ? 

One advantage is you can get a .lk domain name so you will look cool and represent Sri Lanka. Hopefully more and more plug-ins will be added in the future so you might be able to get the full functionality offered by self hosted wordpress. Lest hope the admins will take care of that.
