Remembering Mumbai

Friday, November 28th, 2008

The crisis may be dying down but the people who lost their loved ones will be unable to forget it for the rest of their lives. The people of Mumbai and Indians everywhere must never forget what happened in Mumbai this week, or it will just happen again and again. We have put up a new badge – please put it up on your blogs to make sure noone forgets.

Terror attack in Mumbai – bloggers speak out

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Mumbai bloggers speak out on the terror attacks >

Earlier this morning, we sent this email out to all bloggers from Mumbai -

“Dear Mumbai blogger,

Firstly, we sincerely hope you and and all your loved ones are safe and sound. The IndiBlogger team has been stuck to their televisions since last night, and we decided that instead of merely “condemning the attack”, we would rather find out what the Mumbai bloggers have to say about what’s going on, and more importantly – how to stop these attacks from happening.

We are putting up a page on IndiBlogger.in which will contain links to all your posts on the terror attack. Please do reply to this email and let us know if and when you do blog about the situation in Mumbai, so the rest of the world knows what you all have to say.”

And boy, what a response we got – Mumbai bloggers, hats off to you for shouting out, and reaching out. We have put up all the links to the posts you sent across. Please keep sending them in as you blog more on this attack.

Updated submission guidelines

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

We used to have 3 simple rules for getting your blog on IndiBlogger.in. Unfortunately, things don’t get simpler over time. So now, we have 8 not-so-simple rules for getting your blog on IndiBlogger.in.

The most significant addition to our submission guidelines is that blogs which copy their content  without giving due credit and lacking any personal views/opinions will not be allowed into the directory.

Point #5:

If we suspect that a blog contains duplicate or unoriginal content without giving due credit to the original source, we check it with Copyscape or Google. Blogs found with plagiarized content will not be approved.

Have a look at the rest of the guidelines here.
