Are you an ardent reader of Indian blogs? Are you one of those who is hooked on to the 100 feeds on Bloglines and yet cannot control his blog instincts to hop on to few more Desipundit links everyday and drop a comment or two here and there? Do blogs in Indian languages fascinate you? If you replied in affirmative to most of these, you stand a good chance to be a member of Jury at the

We are overwhelmed by the vote counts in this year's poll. However some of the categories are seeing meteoric rise in the votes for a select few blogs. We also received reader comments and mails from the nominees about this. It was thus needed that we compile the points we have been raising time and again in this post.

Here is our try on answering a few of the questions people keep on asking us:Why are you doing this? Coz somebody had to. We had begun last year by saying that it’s the Indianised version of bloggies..So what’s on your agenda? As flashed in our banner above, “showcase the excellence".

Greetings! Nice to be back. We are gearing up for the 2004 ritual and would like to know what do you think should be the methodology this time. For e.g.: we are thinking of something on the following lines: Make all blogs Listed at http://indianbloggers.blogspot.com eligible for the award (which means no "initial" nominations)Appoint a 10-15 member Jury that nominates their list of blogs for each

Fellow IndiBloggers, we can't thank you enough for making the first IndiBlog Awards ceremony a resounding success. The curtains are down for this year's awards but we hope to be back next year. If you have any suggestion(s) to offer on the modus-operandi of the polls, if you wish to host it yourself or if you simply have to say something, drop a comment or use the "Guest Book". Perhaps we won't

Jivha's is perhaps the best known name in the Indian Blogosphere. There wouldn't be many Indian Blogs that do not have him on their blogroll and there mustn't be many either who never ever commented on his post or trackbacked him. Jivha emerged as the deserving "IndiBlog of the year 2003" and we thought it was time we shed some light on the enshrouded but effervescent Indiblogger. And what could

Fellow IndiBloggers! You did a great job and thank you for that. We hope that this effort kindled the spirit of Indian-ness in the IndiBlogosphere. Hopefully, this get-together brought us closer as a community. If this effort introduced you to even a single blog that you had never heard of before, if it prompted you to say, "ya man that blog is truly good, I must have it on my blogroll", we would

We wish to place on records our sincere gratitude for the prize-sponsors Melodrama, Anita and Meena, to Patang for hosting the images and all these excellent free services from Sparklit, Haloscan and Blogger that made organizing this democratic mini-poll possible, "peacefully and with no untoward

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment has arrived ! It's time now to cast vote for your favorite blog in the following categories. Hearty congratulations to all IndiBloggers who have received popular nominations. Before we spell out few rules for the voting we have two announcements to make, firstly the undisputed IndiBlog award winners. Don't get surprised! Two of the categories at this years awards

Few IndiBloggers have asked us to provide images to link to, especially the nominees. As we had said earlier, we are not good at graphics, however we have come up with the following which you may use. If you have an image hosting facility available with you, kindly save these images there, because we are not sure if our free hosting service will retain it all the time. The polls are ready howver

Nominations closed! Thanks for the nice response IndiBloggers! The Nominations are over now and we would be here soon with the polls (hopefully on Dec.07, but bear with us if it's delayed a bit). We look forward to a bigger response during the Polls. A few issues here: (1) How long do you think the polls should be open? Is a week enough or too much? (2) We have looked at a lot of free poll

Contribute your 2 paisa The IndiBlogger regards this venture as a way to recognise and honour the Indian Blogging talent. Let the Blogosphere know about us (remember the post of Jivha telling us that Indian Blogs are not even considered amongst Asian blogs?). We are happy and content to see the nominations received (although we anticipated much bigger response). We are stretching this idea a bit

Ladies and gentlemen! Thanks a zillion for your contribution to this effort. The Nominations phase is over and here are the lucky ones. Congratulations people! Please do read the note at the bottom of this post.

A bad start, but not loosing hope As far as our divya-drishti can see the effort has hardly generated any interest. Our gut-feeling tells us that the banana-effect has taken its toll, if its true, well, we can only say: bad luck of IndiBlogosphere. A point that we missed earlier and wish to jot here for reassurance is that the entire process of IndiBlog Awards would be democratic, with the
