Though comparatively small in land area Sri Lanka is inhabited by a variety of excellent websites. You are the consumers, benefiters of this priceless heritage of web resources. So we are the presenters too. It's our responsibility to rearrange and categorize these web sites for the explorers of web space.
But Sri Lanka Portal properties have changed from the time we assumed a dominant role in Blogosphere (at Blogger, Google), since the advancement of modern technology made man master of the technology itself. Now the QUICK and INFORMATIVE have become the pass words for the shimmering spell binder called WEB DEVELOPMENT. In order to achieve this modern technology Sri Lanka Portal has to use our new found abilities to plunder and devastate in a nick of the time, years of natural (web development) existence Endless weeding off of spam sites, haphazard patch work of Slogs (spam blogs), unscrupulous consumption of toxic JavaScript result in the deterioration of the habitats of these innocent web sites.

"Sri Lanka has more than 2,500 years of continuous written history by means of the Mahawansa, and was also mentioned in several ancient Indian texts. One of the most famous is the Ramayana, in which the island, which was referred to as Lanka, was the island fortress of the evil king Ravana, who captured the wife of Rama an incarnation of the Hindu God, Vishnu. Legend has it that Hanuman the monkey flew over to Lanka and destroyed the capital by setting it on fire, while Rama and his remaining troops later crossed over from the mainland by building a land bridge across the sea.
