As you might have noticed we have changed the website theme. We have also dropped the blog from the name as it was getting increasingly redundant as we expand the scope of the website.
The new theme is a work in progress and we will continue adding features to it to make browsing and commenting easy and fun for the readers. Following are some of the important changes that go into effect:
Registration For Comments
One of the distinct features of our website is the large number of comments that add immense value to the original post. However lately comment moderation is becoming more of an issue. Most of the comments violating the comment policy come from folks using random email IDs. Also without registration anyone can use any name to post comment sometimes leading to confusion. By registering and using a specific login for posting comments, one can secure a particular identity. Commenters will therefore be required to be registered in order to be able to post a comment. Please use this link to register. Also comments on posts after 30 days will be closed as discussions become repetitive after a while.
Subscription Feed
Since most of the articles we post here are pretty long and as we are increasing the frequency of articles posted everyday, the daily email digest will become too long. Therefore we will start offering article summary instead of the complete feed. We are sorry to those readers who use Google Reader and other feed aggregators for truncated feeds. We’ll try to find out a solution wherein full feed could be offered for readers using feed aggregators. If you have not yet subscribed to Indian Muslims, we strongly encourage you to do so at subscribe.
Article Submissions
We have actively pursued a policy of giving space to diverse set of voices on issues to get a better perspective. If you are interested in writing for Indian Muslims, feel free to to drop us a line at editor@indianmuslims.in. Alternatively you can use the contact form. We invite articles on topical issues as well as responses to other articles posted at the website. Over the next couple of months we will be covering India Elections 2009 extensively.
We would love to hear back from you. If there are any features you would like to see at the website, please post a comment at this post.

Hi – the new look is well done. However, I do have a grievance.
Why did you decide to take out the title pictures of Indian Muslims? I used to love them.
And as a suggestion, why don’t we start a picture gallery of Indian Muslims – something like “Pic of the day”?
Muhib,
Its is a great look and the funda behind the registration of comments completes it. The idea of closing comments after 30 days of posting is also very effective as is my experience with aljazeera. Congrats! you have three for a stone!! Certainly it encourages me to write small things which I experience interacting with people viz a viz Muslims. Hope, small things will have equal and meaningful reactions from readers. Once again, great job, JazaakAllah.
We have to appreciate your resolve to effect a few changes in the new year.But one wonders as to why you havegone after
the traditional railway Compartment colour of days of yore!Blue or Green would have been better!
May Allah bess your efforts withsuccess.
Ameen!
I quite like the way you have eliminated the random email id issue. That is good.
The layout is also quite aesthetic. Good going!
As Salamu Aliekum…
