Is it okay if we share it on social media after the 17th or is that time bound too?

I don't have a facebook account. Does it make a blogger without social media accounts ineligible to participate? 

Arvind Passey

Interesting question... as social media sharing is mandatory. Why must bloggers be expected to be there on social media platforms as a necessity? I guess, writing a blog-post and promoting a blog-post go hand-in-hand. So if a person just writes but doesn't take every possible step to increase the reach of a post, the essential element of penetrative reach isn't possible. But then, maybe I am just rambling on like someone in his sixties... :)

I think Nihal will have your answer.

I don't think so. There are lot of bloggers who keep away from social media and stick only to their blogs (for a lot of different reasons). I think it is just recommended to share your posts on social media (if you have one) just to increase its reach. It shouldn't make you ineligible if you can't share it on facebook. Its a blogging contest and we are already sharing it on a blogging platform like IB.

I never had a Twitter account but I did win some contests on indiblogger. So, I think you can share on whatever platform you are active on and skip the rest. If your post is deserving, it will surely win 😃 All the best!

Nalini

You are right, Arvind, about not using social media wisely to promote our blog posts. I am the one who's rambling like someone in her sixties, in fact I am :) Thanks Srinivasan and Sarah for your thoughts on this. Nihal's answer to Neeraj's question on this thread isn't promising. If not tagging the right handle can make a post to be discarded, what am I even talking here about not owning social media handles. But that's alright. I cherished those few minutes of writing for this contest as I always do. What else can bring out the true essence of blogging?! Good luck to the rest of you!

Hey All, not having a presence on one or an other social media platform will not disqualify you from this contest. The handles and hashtags of the Brand / Campaign are mentioned in the rules in an effort to urge participants to use them when they are promoting their posts via those respective channels.

It is really hard for me to describe this topic but I able to feel the inner beauty of this topic . But I tried my best to describe my feelings for this topic in my blog post .

Hi,

I'm not able to embed the said video in my Wordpress blog post. I have no choice but to include the youtube link. Hope I will be considered.

Was finally able to upload my third entry for this contest in which I attempt to define a blind list. Just my interpretation... do read and comment if you find my definition reasonable.

Bhagwat Balshetwer

Hello Nihal, I am still confused about this rule. Enhanced IndiStats

I followed all instructions on my blog for  Enhanced .IndiStats. But I cannot see any stat on my blog. Is it hidden list or will display anything on blog.

Nihal Lazarus
from Bengaluru

Hi Bhagwat, once you've installed the IndiStats code, it won't display anything on the blog. You don't have to do anything more. Good luck for the contest!
