Categories of posts at Indi blogger restricts reading
Hola Indibloggers....hope you doing well:)
Every time I share a post at IndiBlogger, the selection of category makes me feel uncomfortable, coz more often than not my post for instance the recent one on "Busting Myths on Psychology" could only be put to "personal" category, even though I wanted it to be under the category of sciences as well....I'm wondering if you ppl too get annoyed and a lil disappointed by putting a category and a 'necessary sub category', without which apparently Indiblogger won't let you proceed?? :/
While I understand its a way of screening posts for the administrators at IndiBlogger, I dunno if it restricts the readership as well....
What do you think abt it? Do u feel the same abt the "required categories" u have to put ur posts into??
Aakriti
PS: Woaa here too my forum thread is 'required' to have a category:(
just to bring it on top
Thanks for digging up an old thread where question has been answered, PL. <Looks around for the lock>
@ DS: gRATSI....hmm I get it...:)
@ Hemal: Woh..toh waqt hi btayega;) and yup....m all fine with u taking the lead..I started a discussion and it brought some memories of "unfinished business and changes" at indiblogger's end....so go ahead...:)
dUDE...hEMAL...I kinda like the way u are taking charge of everything...but I just feel as if I'm not the one who started the thread:P...no probs...I'll sit back and hear the covo happening:)
hey girly, no hard feelings as i said 
i just intervened coz it is a thing that had been lurking around for many months now, as you can see on Arti's thread. I do see many of the categories listed at Arti's thread on the IndiVine currently and hence I said, lets continue the discussions on that thread.
PS:I hope we still going on for a date then 
@Everyone: Check out the Google Spreadsheet on Arti's Thread which contains the current categories of IndiVine. We all can continue our discussions over there.
Pramod (see, not calling you ji now) left out two of the main categories without which me and Indivine just can't work out 
Poetry and Stories, and maybe even Humor.
It can be head category itself I feel, or subcat under Creative Writing. 
Hola Arti:):) yup I did visit ur thread thnks to DS by sharing the link with me..and we have ur category of "festivals" on board:) gimme sumtym will see ur thread once again:)
Pramodji...pls aap mujhe Aakritiji mat bulaiye...u are wy too elder than me..like i said to Hemal..the categories given by u are helpful and well as Arti had mentioned in her thread..there should be one category as "festivals" too..right Arti?
Hey Hemal....thnk u so much for ur wonderful rply..honestly.. i'm seeing that this is calling for a lot of work...i dont wanna backout later..so it'll be nice if we can have someone else volunteer..plus m not that tech savvy ..as my bro says "All I can do is FB and blogging":P... and yeah I like the categories given by Pramodji..:)
Hey Aakriti,
I agree, Indivine does need some changes here and there. I have already given my views in brief in my thread as you may have already checked out. Will be glad to help out in any way I can, just ping me, if you need anything on this girl
@Arti hehe.. steer ahead the conversation to get a team for yourself and then collaborate with them. not that only you have to do it, take support from as much as you can.. I just suggest to have at least 4 people which in a way is not lot.
Plus, you dont have to add and accept everyone's suggestion. The idea behind creating this list is keep the categories as consice as possible. There are many things that can be clubbed / combined which produce the same effect. Work on those and you are set to go.
And being a forum hero, am sure you should now gear up to lead initiatives and let this be your first! 
@Hemal haha, too much burden on a forum hero..ine, i suppose
Anyways, I am thinking that instead of a closed 4 member team discussion we cud let the discussions flow and openly hear/discuss out the category/subcategory suggestions of all.
Based on those discussions, we can then add everything that apparently looks fine and worth considering and prepare a rough draft of the excel sheet... This updated sheet can then be worked on by some of us here (the team that you were referring to) and subsequently evolved into something presentable that the team can take note of… what ya think?
Work on those and you are set to go.
I am sensing that people are gonna storm us with their wants and needs... Lets see, dont wanna be sounding like a pessimist here.. :) With the help of ever1 here, we will give it a shot nevertheless and see if we can get anything out of this for the team to work on... :)
oooohh and also Indimail me the right to access that sheet …
Will have this up and running once you do that.
Hey Hemal..I volunteer since I started the thread..well not that m obligated to..but I am more than willing..but just gimme some time..lets wait for toher replies here..and see wht comes up..alryt?:) and well Hemal...I also read the thread started by Arti few months bk on the categories..u have replied to it as well...it makes sense.. and basically that link is abt the subcategories ppl wud like to have...
PS: Requiring me to go to that thread and make a list will be a tedious task..:P..and I have tonnes of college assessments cuming up as well:P
hEYLOZ lEO..again...hmm..Well makes sense what u are saying..but I wish categories could have some more categories to put in..bttr still..I think we should have an option to put our own categories, not just keywords..
PS: I'm a poet too...and I love the weather of the City where u are from:)
It's only on Indivine.. and it helps maintain some decorum actually.. else people who write under offbeat and personal will have confusion.. Some categorisation helps, coz for e.g. I being a poet would look to the Poetry subcategory to find some nice poets to read..
However, maybe a sub-category named "General/Unsubcategorized" under each category would be helpful
Oh no....I'm against categories actually Pramod..they restrict my post:/ ..All I want is that even if categories are there they should e broad...why have sub categories at all?
new categories are need of the hour, zephyr too had demanded that and created a thread to bring to light that need,. let's brace our hearts, some thing may come up soon.
Thank you so much Animesh...its just that I'm not a very frequent interactor at Indiblogger..this is just one of the things I have been finding a lil annoying...so I shared it...I guess maybe linking this thread to that post should be helpful...what do u think?
PS: Thank u sor spelling my name correctly, ppl dunt even do that even after seeing:P
