About Indibloggies

I

ndibloggies was started as a parody clique on the Bloggies. Since then it has gained a lot of credibility and popularity with. The major reason Debashish started it was because looking at the Blogroll of the blogs he read, he felt that he wasn’t able to read so many good blogs just because he never heard of them. So was born the Indibloggies that started in 2003 with a hastily put backyard show with fellow bloggers Anita Bora and Melodrama contributing with their awards.

The 2004 spectacle witnessed a surge in vigor and participation at the event. This was also the time when the concept of “Jurors” crept in, where the nominations from the bloggers had a sort of “peer review”, from a group of bloggers who have been blogging consistently since quite a while. A twelve member Jury Panel consisting of prominent bloggers was appointed. The event also saw a good support from Sponsors; many bloggers also plunged in with their donations and support. It feels good to say that goodies worth more than Rs.25,000/- were distributed as Prizes. For those interested in Trivia: Voting on nominated blogs began 10 January 2005 and concluded on January 22, 2005. The results were declared on January 24, 2005.

With the onset of the 2005 event, Indibloggies moved to its own home, www.indibloggies.org and a brand new blog. We hope in times to come the event will bring more glory to Indian blogs and would serve as an ample platform for highlighting the best of the Indian blogosphere.

The Indibloggies blog runs on Wordpress and the theme was designed exclusively by Chugs who also designed the blog-templates for the 2004 event. The hosting has been provided by Go Hindi. Here is what Chugs had to say about his concept of the 2005 design:

I tried to avoid all cliches (Taj Mahal, the
abused-to-death “Hindi English” font, etc) and incorporated a decorative motif, reminiscent of the motifs you find in many of our clothes, saris and bindis.

The way we evolved:
