New for the 2012 Nigerian Blog Awards

Posted on December 29, 2011 | Good Naija Girl | 33 Comments

With 2012 just a few days away there is a lot required to prepare for the 2012 Nigerian Blog Awards. Right now the list of bloggers on the right is being updated to reflect blogs that have been updated in the last three months (October 1, 2011 or more recently). Please note that this is a new requirement: in the past blogs updated in the last six months were listed on this site.

Following the update to the list, the blogs listed will be evaluated to ensure they qualify to be considered a blog. For the purposes of the Nigerian Blog Awards, a blog will have the following characteristics:

  • it will consist of (preferably reverse-) chronological posts
  • the majority of the posts must contain words and cannot be images or files alone
  • it will allow interaction with readers through comments, a rating system, or a voting system
  • it will be updated by no more than six individuals

The above is in addition to the requirement that blogs listed on this site must:

  • be written by a Nigerian OR have a strong focus on Nigeria
  • have been updated in the last three months
  • be open to be read by the public (no private blogs)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to leave a comment. Thank you for your support!
