Welcome! First time here? Please read the rules of the forum
IndiBloggers! Now that we finally have our discussion forum for Indian bloggers up and running, here's what you need to know:
- Flaming is not allowed. If you're unfamiliar with the term, please note that we are not talking about lighting yourself on fire. For a definition of what flaming is, go here.
- Please respect other bloggers on the forum, keeping in mind that they have a right to an opinion as much as you do.
- This forum is aimed at a general audience. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will be frowned upon, and we may tell your mother about you.
- No advertising, and no spamming. Of course, you may promote your own blog, but only in the "Review My Blog" category. Please don't promote your own products and services unless it's relevant to Indian bloggers. For example - you may promote a widget that you developed, but you will not be allowed to promote styling gel, no matter how good it makes you look.
- We request all bloggers with experience to patiently help newbies in the "Blogging Beginners" category.
- Since we've seen many forums with features that users don't need or don't understand, we have launched this forum in a barebones format. We'll add features as and when the need is felt - so please send in suggestions and bug fixes!
- Please refrain from any obscene dance movements on this forum, as our server is easily distracted.
Enjoy, and remember - we love feedback!

Moderator's message:
Whether you read the rules or not, whether its first time violation or not, moderation is equal for everyone. Excessive spammers who disregard mod warnings (deleting the thread itself is a clue that it's violating the rules) will eventually be banned. If you're banned. you lose access to Indiblogger and therefore lose access to meets, contests and lots more! :(. Community works with the community takes care of their own access.

Evidently, it's a significant platform to explore the recesses of blogging. But I gotta doubt. On my dashboard why it is showing "marketing marketing...Read more." Well, I would like you folks to sort out my concern as I am a newbie here.
Cheers!!
hai Renie,
It is not an exageraation that I do apprecaite the indiblogger set up very much. That is the attention its moderators give to bloggers. You find time to respond to all comments which makes every blogger feel special and being taken care of.
Rules and regulations or rather policies are always good. They make working together enjoyable and trouble free.
All the best.

This post has a somewhat suggestive title, if you know what I mean.
I thought it had some instructions, if you know what I mean.
The content was quite a downer, if you know what I mean.
sorry, couldn't resist. hehe
Hey that's a Great Idea ! It could definately help people like me who are Ancient and Vintage to use of the Net and Forums like these.
As a Scientist how could I let people know by blogs about the products that are being developed, its uses, economice, benefits, etc., without breaking the bloggers laws of use ?
Suppose I say that- " Get your Natural Gas and Electicity Free" for the rest of your life by using or purchase of such an equipment.' will it come under Advertising, or spamming, or violate any of the rules of the forum ? Please let me know. Thanks
Selling things might be a part of blogging but it should not be the only part of blogging. Maintain a ratio of 1:10 for promotional to non promotional posts. But before selling something establish a raeder base first.
Thanks for the welcome Renie 'Optimus Prime' Ravin & guys. Can you please help me on how to upload a photo via Gravatar?
Click 'Dashboard' on the top right corner of the screen. Click 'Account Settings'. Click the link 'Change picture via Gravatra.com' Log in or Sign up according to whether you have an account over there or not.
I think you are alraedy familiar with this task for you already ahve a profile picture uploaded.
Thanks for the info :) You do have a way of putting these things across in a humourous way!
I joined Indiblogger roughly around a week ago. Will my blog get rated in November? And do I have to promote it here to get a better rating? If yes, how?
Welcome to the commnity, Vishal 
Sometimes it so happens that there is a problem with the feeds and you might miss on it but that happens only in rare cases and otherwise, your blog should mostly get a rank in the next due update. Also, you dont need to do any promotions here to get a better ranking. Rankings are purely based on the merits of your blog and not not on any promotional activities in or outside Indiblogger. Check out How indiranks work to know more.
Till then, enjoy your time here and keep blogging
Haha! "Don't advertizing your styling gel no matter how good it makes you look" :D
