Vote for me in the Indibloggies
January 10, 2005
We interrupt our regular schedule of quality programming to bring you this message. We've been nominated for the IndiBloggies, which comes with 25 cartons of Ego Boost as the prize. (And some other miscellaneous stuff, none of which we're really interested in.)
OK, so I've been nominated not once, not twice but three times for my two blogs - this one and my chef blog. Shiok Chef's Notes has been nominated for best topical blog, and hey, anyone who's read my detailed recipes and seen my gorgeous photographs has to vote for me. The only competition I can see is from Yazad, whose blog AnarCapLib has also been nominated. Actually, I write over there too, so this is a fight between me and 25% me. :)
If that weren't enough, both of my blogs have been nominated for the best design award. Yes, both MadMan's Web and Shiok - Chef's Notes are going heads up against each other. This makes me happy but also sad at the prospect of the vote being split.
I'll make this simple for you. Vote for Shiok as the best topical blog, and MadMan's Web for the best design. My chef's blog has exhaustive useful content and this blog is filled with design doo-dads. I've combined two blogs (the links blog and the article blog) on the same page without crowding the place. My nav bars slide out of side if you want to read my articles on a smaller monitor, and my text is well spaced and readable. Heck, even my comment box expands if you want to write a ton. There's a whole bunch of usability thingamajigs too if you look closer (try hovering your mouse over some text box or label some time.) I deserve this award over the other contenders, some of whom don't even live in this country.
(Update: I see that Ravikiran and JK are now accepting bribes for their votes. I'm far too honest for that. Besides, I have l33t rigging skillz.)
Madman:
I did my share in blowing up your already blown up cheeks with those added 25 cartons of ego by voting for you in the best blog category.
Keep up the good work madhu.
"... read my articles on a smaller monitor ..."
Luckily, I have a bigger monitor. Let me go vote now.

Posted by Gaurav at January 12, 2005 9:27 PMBecause Mr. Sabnis, the vote is not for the Mela, but for me in the IndiBloggies - a different event altogether. :p

Hi, I've voted for both your blogs, so I'm officially your diehard fan. In fact, I've even recruited more supporters in the form of my family and friends, who are all now in your camp as well. Arent you thrilled? :) Good luck for winning every "Best" title going - you deserve it.
Posted by Shyam at January 17, 2005 12:05 PMEven though I have my own foodblog, I'll vote for you! Sid, my husband, introduced me to Shiok and I totally loved it! :-)
Btw, drop in at my foodblog sometime and leave your comments.
