Voting open : Vote for the best China blogs

 

Voting is now open. Chinalyst, the community website for English language China blogs, is pleased to invite you to vote for the best China Blog Awards.

A few weeks ago I announced the China Blog Awards and it is now time to vote according to the following categories:

Voting will close at the end of 31.07.2007 and winners will be announced soon after.

 

How to vote?

China Blog Awards - Best China Blogs 2007 - Voting

Next to every blog display here's a small voting box with a plus sign at the bottom. Want to vote for a blog? press the plus sign. The vote will then register, the number of votes will update and the plus sign will turn green. Changed your mind or made a mistake? select the "reset vote" link at the bottom of the blog description.

You can browse the blog categories or just go through the posts in the main page and go to the author's blog by clicking on "source" available on the links under the post.

 

Getting more readers and votes

It is highly recommended for blog owners to login to Chinalyst and edit their blog's description to add an introduction. It is also recommended that an image or logo be added to the blog description to attract readers and voting.

If you want to promote votes in your blog, then look for the direct link to your blog on Chinalyst and link to it. Ryan has made a banner that you can use :

What else? link, link, link

Blog Awards are a great opportunity for promoting link-love between the China blogs. If you write a blog and you like a certain blog then consider writing a few words about the blog, linking to it to encourage your readers to visit the blog, and maybe ask your readers to vote for it. Link-love between the China blogs helps promote the whole China blogosphere and China related content on the web.

 

More information is on the previous post - China Blog Awards - Best China Blogs 2007.

This is the first time Chinalyst is running the China Blog Awards. Any suggestions, comments or ideas are very welcome.

 

Good luck.

What about a "Chinese Language Blog" category?

There are dozens of Chinese Language Blogs out there.  I am just wondering why you have completely omitted this category.

Thanks,

Eric

Categories were matched to the blogs registered on Chinalyst. So far, no language blogs have joined the community.

Furthermore, only some of the Chinese blogs are really about China and Chinese culture.

But, Chinese language blogs that are also about China and Chinese culture are welcome to sign up in Chinalyst. Once there will be more than a few - there will also be a category.
