On Snippets, Links, and Better Blog Headers: bahaijournal.com and 1863 Unity Road

Two nodes on the 'net, notable blogs by Baha'is, are bahaijournal.com and 1863 Unity Road. The bloggers are on opposite sides of the world, in Colorado USA and in South Africa, but they are of one acccord in their desire to promote the Faith of Baha'u'llah.

The editor(s) of bahaijournal.com have a nose for what's new Baha'i-wise, providing "snippets from life, the web, news, and blogs." Up top is surely one of the best blog headers of any Baha'i blog anywhere.

1863 Unity Road provides "snippets of information and links to various aspects of the Bahá'í Faith." The blogger, whose "whole life revolves around Bahá'u'lláh," has served the Faith for 23 years, and lives in Mogale City, in the West Rand District, west of Johannesburg.

I googled Mogale City. It has a population of 289,714. Here is a listing of languages spoken in the community and the percentage of people who speak it: Setswana (36.12%), Afrikaans (16.51%), IsiZulu (10.51%), IsiXhosa (9.94%), English (8.26%), Sesotho (5.74%), Sepedi (4.22%), Xitsonga (4.14%), Tshivenda (2.24%), Other (1.09%), SiSwati (0.65%), IsiNdebele (0.59%). What an amazingly diverse country is South Africa!
