Would you please consider adding one more category for “Food and Drink”?

We are not very sure under which category can we nominate our Indian food blog – My Dhaba. We are blogging about traditional Indian home cooking with recipes, details, and videos.

Opinions please. Cheers!

It is unfortunate that you have chosen such a cumbersome method of nomination. This process will reult in fewer nominations this year. I think you must still consider nomination by email for the technologically challenged.

Peter,

The limitation on one blog-one category is more a “technical limitation” on my part. I decided to use the “bookmarking tools” this time for the entire nomination and “rating” process. The problem with these tools is: (1) You can bookmark a site only once and (2) the tags are not correlated. How do you split votes for two categories?

The idea is to award the best of the blogs but the idea is also to bring-forth and recognize lot many blogs. If a single blog wins in three categories, I am denying prizes to many others. I have maintained this view for long that the thing that matters is the final list of blogs that emerges for Polling. That formidable list would be worth noting, and each of us would surely note few outstanding blogs that they never read before.

Multiple nominations for a single blog may be a parameter for a blog’s popularity but we are not taking that into account yet (it would have been easy to end the process right here). Irrespective of how many nominations they get, a blog is a single bookmark for each Juror.

The Final Polling will, hopefully, level all these minor shortcomings.

3. A blog or site can be nominated only for one award-category. If a blog/site is nominated and/or rated for multiple categories, the Indibloggies reserves the right to decide the best suitable category for the blog/site.

I know of many blogs that fit comfortably into more than one category. Let’s take a hypothetical group blog with great photography, superb sports writing and a fab tag line. If you only allowed it to be entered in, let us say, the group blog category, then the photo blo, sports blog, best tag line and even IndiBlog of the year would be impoverished by its absence. And possibly, blogs less accomplished could win in those categories.
Isn’t the idea supposed to be that the best blogs win?

multiple nominations for the same site may take place making life miserable for the Jurors.

Huh? Mutliple nominations, to my feeble mind, indicate that the nominated blog is considered nomination-worthy by many. Surely that is A Good Thing?
