Wishing all iKolam members and friends a very happy Diwali!
It has become a tradition for us to host a Diwali rangoli contest to celebrate the festival, and so we welcome all the members of the iKolam.com community to participate in this event.
Title of your rangoli :
Diwali Rangoli - Contest - 2009
Submission timeframe :
Oct 18th, 2009 to Oct 30th, 2009.
Where to send :
Upload directly at ikolam.com.
Contest guidelines :
One entry per member
Entries could be uploaded during the contest days only.
Can you please send me details on how to upload the rangoli for the contest. I am unable to do so. I went through "create content", but it does not show the rangoli under the gallery.
Can you pl. confirm that you have got my entry.
Hi Ms.Swathy,
We've received 3 of your entries (1st was published already, and, 2nd and 3rd was uploaded by you today). But, all these are the same images, the last one being "AnnaPakshi in a Pushpaka Vimaanam" (the same bird with a couple of decorated plates placed on the sides). I'm not sure if the last one is for the contest (there is no way we could differentiate it from the usual Diwali rangolis, unless it is mentioned by the users, either in the content, or the title). Please follow the same procedures to upload contest-rangolis.
Try it again please.
Thank you,
Dear Contest participants,
If you had submitted a rangoli, and have not specified if that was meant for the usual display in the site, or for the contest, please do let us know. I had emailed some of you members, but am not having any luck hearing back. So, I'm going to hold back some of the Diwali rangolis and would display them in the contest page (going by my intuition at this stage). I would edit as and when I hear back. Please communicate either by commenting, or by emailing me. Thank you.

dear latha,

Ms.Mythili, you have uploaded two rangolis, and you have not mentioned which one is for the contest. Please tell me which is for the contest (the square magenta one, or the Ganesha).Thank you.
Hi latha,
Out of my two Rangoli's sent, the one in sqaure shape with diyas around is for Diwali competition and another one with ganesha is for others views and comments. thanks
Please use the "create content" link seen at the top of the right side menu options. Or, go to the following link, and follow the procedure.
http://www.ikolam.com/node/add/rangoli
It is the same procedure for any rangoli, just make sure to mention "contest" in the contest rangoli submissions. Let me know if you have trouble uploading. Thanks.
Ms.Jayashree, the current picture is what I had seen yesterday, and was wondering why you had wanted to change that, since it looked clear enough. But, now I realize that you couldn't see it because of the your settings.
-----------------
Ms.Nalini V, your ganesh rangoli is their in the queue, would be published in the contest page. Thank you.
-----------------
Ms.Alamelu, or Priya, for old times sake :), don't worry, I got your email, and file, I'll take care of it. thanks.
Dear ikolam admin,
i have a small issue with my profile photo upload...i had uploaded this photo (the one that shows along my name in my profile) the first time and then found that the face is not that obvious so i tried deleting this and uploading a diff one but its not happening as in even if i delete this and upload a diff one the same photo comes up...somehow it looks like this photo is stuck with my profile...please help me out...
Thanks & regards,
Jayashree
Ms.Jayashree,
I see two possibilities that might help with your issue; a) please "submit" the page (option seen at the bottom of the page) once you've "deleted" the previous picture, and then attach the new picture. b)check and clear your cache settings.
You might want to read comments on this page which might be of help:
http://www.ikolam.com/node/7340
Let me know if these steps don't work, I'll walk you through step by step. Thanks.
---------------------
Mrs.Janaki,
Please re-upload the first one, or point me out to the link if the first one is already published. The problem is, you had uploaded a few of your rangolis made for Diwali, and I can't make out which one is for the contest. They are all beautiful.
---------------------
Ms.Mythili, thank you.
Dear Admin,
Thanks a lot...i guess clearing the cache helped...coz the other step that u mentioned was already tried...i guess now my picture is clear...Thank You...
Thanks & Regards,
Jayashree
