why are the posts not visible ? 
Does that mean the date is silently extended !! PHEW! and one more thing am not getting the discussion here. I dont see any major change in the topic for the contest !
IMHO I am sure there's no need to write entries where a person drives only Tata Safari.
By the way can some one throw light on what was the previous topic and what are the changes done to it ?!?!

god knows
Ranjith

Afshan see the previous topic here
Afshan
from Bangalore |
@Ranjith : OOOPS ! I saw just now :P The change in topic.
Some how , may be I had browser cache , I saw only the previous topic and wrote based on it . The prev one was more cool
But even in this its written A COMPLETE FICTIONAL JOURNEY to A FICTIONAL PLACE.
I guess it should hold good for who ever wrote about unknown lands :) Am also among them
Afshan
from Bangalore |
Now am confused Why I saw the prev topic in my browser 
Only now I am seeing the new one ! 
When Will posts get reflected ??? !
Nandini Deka
from Bombay |
maybe some people are seeing the posts...while some of us are still seeing the old page

I guess due to continuous pestering last night regarding #Extension (And I was one of them) Renie gave more time so cheers guys!
Afshan
from Bangalore |
Ya Nandini
Even the night before I saw the old topic it self. THATS Why I was confused about the discussion on change in topic here
Prasanna Rao

Is the contest extended? I wrote the post in a hurry, now if it's extended I would like to re-work on the post.
Afshan
from Bangalore |
@Prasanna : I have the same doubt
If they say there is date extension I will also modify !!

Hi Nandini, even I reverted to drafts and had the same question? what did you decide - are you putting it back to published?
Prasanna and Afshan: Normally till they close it, changes are ok... That's what I noticed in past couple contests.. I made a very tiny change too just now!
Kitchen mummy
from Kundli |
Yes even I just noticed the change in topic...
well, its only fair that they let us change our entry a bit if we're fine with them changing the contest prompt :)
Sammya Brata

Couldn't take time out for this one...thanks for the work load... no issues..next contest :)
Bhavya Kaushik
from Jaipur |
Extended? :/
Afshan
from Bangalore |
I got a new doubt now. I hav a blogspot blog and my word press blog got recently approved.
I dont remember If I selected the word press blog while submitting my contest entry which is written on blogspot.
I submitted again selecting the source as blogspot!
Will that be an issue ? :(
The entry was accepted!
Bushra M
from Bangalore |
Submit the post again Afshan. The submit button is still there...
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
You were able to submit twice?
If you select site1.com as your blog, and the link you submit if from site2.com, then it [ should not ] accept your post.
Something may be wrong with the IndiVine system or you got confused.
Whatever it may be, just check that your submitted the right one after the entries are displayed. If something isn't right, SHOOT a mail to Renie 
Or as Bushra said, submit again.
Bushra M

Entries are visible Now. Only 173 entries for this one
Bhavya Kaushik
from Jaipur |
That's less! :/
Which means the chances of winning are more :D
Nandini Deka
from Bombay |
maybe thats why they kept it open so long
Afshan
from Bangalore |
Thanks Bushra and Ranjith :)Ideally it shudnt get accepted but it accepted it . DONT KNO WHY !
now the same post is showing twice. Should I inform Renie about it ?
Maniparna Sengupta Majumder
from Kolkata |
The entries are now live..good..we have lots of imagination..
Afshan
from Bangalore |
I submitted again
Thanks Bushra and Ranjith.
But my entry is duplicated and showing twice :( SHould I request Renie to delete the second one
If Yes how ?!
Bushra M
from Bangalore |
I think its alright.... Now you'll get more traffic
but it would be better if you inform Renie by sending an email.

Wondering why my entry is not there among 174 entries.

Micky Fernandez

I have the same question. I published my post on the 7th of September (and which can be verified by going to my blog), and I am certain that I then followed all the steps necessary to enter it in the contest, but I can not find my post on the specific IndiVine page.
Is it indeed there? If not, then can anything be done?
Micky Fernandez
from Kolkata |
Ignore my other reply; I have now found it.
Having said that, though, is there anything that can be done in the future? I would hate to write a post, eager and hopeful of winning a prize, and linking it to the contest page, only to find that it did not become an entry (for whatever reason).
Afshan
from Bangalore |
@bushra : as it is the same post I don't think more traffic helps 😃
I informed Renie
He deleted . Prob solved
Thanks to u all
Good day and good luck :)

feeling happy happy coz now I can see my entry among the other contest entries. last time when I participated in indiblogger contest, thy did not show my entry 
.. now waiting fr indi votes .. however, I did not include Tata safari car or its name in my story (I forgot that the contest is all about promoting the Car ) so will tht make any negative effect .. 
Arvind Passey
from Delhi |
I don't think the sponsors want a post with pictures of Safari Storme... they already have expensive ads in all sorts of media all over. They want to read creative stuff that follows the brief given... and if you were able to storme into it, good! :)
Razi
from Malappuram |
even I didnt use tat safari..!
Bhavana Lalwani
from Jodhpur |
now I found another mistake .. ewwwww I have given the link of tata safari website and did nt mention the language "this post is written for indiblogger contest n all bla bla " (though I think this bla bla is equally important thing as the stoy)
Nandini Deka
from Bombay |
Its not necessary to write full sentence....link is enough too
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
Bhavana If you want to add that line, you can add it now. Such minor edits are allowed. Moreover, as it is not a part of the actual post, there will be no problem at all.
Bhavana Lalwani
from Jodhpur |
thnkss Ranjith, Arvind, Nandini and Canary :) to be honest, I was so excited abt this theme and story tht I almost forgot all these minor things.
thnaks again .. u guys r soo prompt to reply
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
Canary
from Bangalore |
Don't worry Bhavna, these blogging contests are more about generating a conversation among bloggers rather than putting up glamorous photo ops.. so good luck!
Ranjith

Can someone count the number of video blog posts and tell me so that I can start crying!
Nandini Deka
from Bombay |
who better than you to find and tell us all
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
I'm not in a mood to open each entry and see if it is a video.
And what if there are no video entries? Can I grab that prize as I atleast thought of submitting a video?
And where did all the prizes vanish from that page? ND, did you steal them?
Bhavya Kaushik
from Jaipur |
I submitted 4 video blogs :P
But yeah, where are the prizes :/
I thought that making a video and uploading it would be the easiest thing. Bleh!
Nandini Deka
from Bombay |
i thot u used java scripts to find anything
Razi
from Malappuram |
I posted my photoblog.. along with ND's Rabbit..
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
ND I don't use JavaScript 
I use Java And it is not easy to count the number of video blogs using it
BK
Razi, Now ND will start crying for her rabbit

Posting two entries for this contest has left me with a severe headache
Now I don't even feel like opening that page!
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
Exhausted after opening 173 entries and checking for videos!
There were one or two posts about JavaScript. 
Around 5-10 Page Not Found posts.
Almost all the entries have lots of pictures.
Two 1 line entries
All video entries are from Bhavya Kaushik ( above ) who also submitted the highest number of entries. Something between 10 and 15.
I too should have made a video I dreamt of making a video with me speaking a few lines in the background.
No one posted a creative ( ? ) photo blog like mine.
Avadhoot
from Jabalpur |
I made a video, but could not embed it as the music owner allowed it on youtube only.
so, I gave the link in my blog post.
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
Ok. I don't know how many such videos I missed!
Bhavya Kaushik
from Jaipur |
I'm currently doing a backpacking expenditure across Himalayas. This contest came just at the perfect time for me. Thus, thought of adding a couple of video and photo blogs of a few explorations that I made in the past one month :)
And yeah, I posted some 10-15 entries :P (but they are all either videoblogs or photoblogs :D)
Nandini Deka
from Bombay |
10-15 entries
Two 1 line entries

ND got shocked I wonder why she is not asking for the links of those one line posts
Nandini Deka
from Bombay |
why do u want me to ask??
Aditya
from New Delhi |
I made a video of a place called bhooli bhatyari.
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
ND So that you can have popcorn
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
@ Aditya
I am bad at counting. I assumed that those who post videos won't accompany it with text and pictures. So, I missed your video ( and probably many more )
Micky Fernandez
from Kolkata |
Ranjith: If you saw my entry then you should have added, "And I saw one WONDERFUL entry!" (Ha ha)
Ranjith
from hyderabad |
Micky I didn't read any entries. I was only searching for the coloured youtube play buttons
Razi
from Malappuram |
You must read them Ranjith..
