Instead of altering the voting process , why not have a stage,where a sort of synopsis of each author/ their 'best' work is presented? As in what they are writing about etc. This would make people read more posts and thus they might be able to get a clearer idea...
Sounds like a good idea Vishesh...
We will have as Renie if this is possible...
Ok, thinking aloud here - we get the blogger to submit the best snippets of each post while they give in the nominations. We also get a short description of who they are and why they blog on that subject... and all this goes onto the "stage" right? This makes sense, although the no. people visiting the actual blog will be less... and our mods will have to verify that the synopsis is in fact, a part of the blog post...
Nevertheless I like the idea. Will try and find workarounds to implement this!
Hmmm... Renie... I agree... a snippet can influence... a well written snippet can in fact be better than the post... also... added load for moderators to verify if the snippet is actually relavant... rather... cant the first paragrah / or first few lines of the post appear as a tool tip pop up on mouse over against each post submission... that would take away any subjectivity... also... if possible... the name of the post instead of something like "Post 1" would make the competion entries more reader friendly....
There are a few blog platforms where in a snippet from the post can be used..it can be something like this...when I moved my poems to a new blog (recently) I used this method to inform my readers in my main blog...many do click and al least go through whats written ..yes that should do the trick..what you can do is, have a disclaimer and once the ovting starts , verify for the top blogs, if it not a snippet from their blog, you can disqualify them
