Choose what flag?
I've been thinking long and hard about what the new template should look like.. and I must say, I'm stumped for ideas. I was looking for pics that would identify us as Somalis, but the camels, people in traditional clothes and acacia tree pics seemed a little dull and overdone. Most other resource pages have some elements/colours of the country's flag...but we’ve two flags (please, no indignant mutterings about the existence/non-existence of Somaliland ;D). So I decided to make an experimental flag and make all parties happy… What do you guys think of that?

FOC oo maxaa ismaleeyse? :D Making a flag of your own. Hehehehe. I really think the template should reflect the culture. Don't worry about you not being able to do it in the next few weeks. Like you said this is all a work in progress there is no rush in perfection. ;)
this is really neat (not the flag, although that is great too but for now i'm talkin bout this blog)i didnt know there were so many somali bloggers out there.
oh this gives something to keep me busy...
ps, the flag...is alright but i didnt really get how the symbolizes the culture. Good stuff though!
FOC & SD...fantastic blog. It should take me a good while to read all the linked blogs. Great job.
FOC, the flag is rather hideous. Go for a simple black and white template is my advice.
A blog update:
The links have gone AWOL. Relax, its not me meddling with the template, blogrolling (the site that sorts our links) is having some technical difficulties.
Seems everyone is more in favour of a ‘culture’ based template as opposed to nationalist one. Cool.
Ainashe,
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I guess this is a good time as any to declare my ‘secessionist madness’. *laughs hysterically*.
I’m afraid I’m one of those people whose hopes of Somaliweyn got pissed on and washed away with seeing and reading about the events in the last two decades that have led to the current state. I support Somaliland and I see it as the way forward for both the people of the North and South.
I’m a sister by the way :)
^^^ behave young lady. I guess you will get to work on that cultural template :P
What ever template you use will work for your site coz it is already great site. By the way, the flag thing is kind a unique idea in some way, but at the same time might seem divisive to some. Otherwise the flag looks cool. Thanks for linking my Blogsite.. I truly appreciate.
Take care and enjoy life
"The secessionist madness in the North will not and should succeed"
...Easier Said than Done!
"I must say that I strongly disagree with you about the false notion of Somalia having two flags"
...There are more than Two by the way!
SD and FoC, Sisters, Though the Flag is quite unique and eye-catching, i think it's best to leave it out. You can, instead, have some pictures that symbolize the Somali Culture - Something that we share in common instead of the flags!
Just a Suggestion!
^Good suggestion. Agree :)
Not a bad idea. Atleast it will be the virtual flag on the net for all Somali speaking people around the globe.

Oi FOC I believe you have being called to the podium. This could be just the very medium and outlet to let loose your political theories. Can't wait for your reply!
I think the idea ain't bad but still collect diverse "taste" from various horns..

asalamu alaikum
Ditch the combined flag idea! sorry I had to get that out of the way.
How about something we can all agree on. pictures of : Food, somthing that reflects our connection with islam, maybe some abstract pics....
or if you think it's a good idea..bloggers can submit pics.
whatever you decided I'm sure we'll love it. how can we not!
^ Those are good suggestions Muslimah, thanks.
As always, something else has got in the way of my blog make-over... so... I'A...soon...
Keep well all.
