Everyday everyone needs to approach the government offices for some kind of work and what needs to be filled in is a FORM as the Babu says.

Most of the time we get annoyed by the look of the form and what the babu will ask along with it.

The Karnataka State govt. website has compiled almost all its departments and the forms needed.

I still dont know whether a printed from like this will be accepted by the departments, but yes by reading the form earlier you can definitely prepare all the documents one needs or what kind of information is needed.

Here at AllAboutBelgaum, we love our readers. We love our supporters and advertisers. And, we love our Facebook fans! We’re so excited that we broke the 1,000-fan threshold! And it is all because of you! Thanks, from the very bottom of our hearts.

We created our Facebook page in late June 2009, and reaching 1000 fans for a local site we guess is not a bad number.
There have been some updates only for FaceBook fans and the same will continue.

Clean N Clear is the Mantra

admin — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:24:08 +0000

Resolutions time is here.

For 2010, at AAB, we have a resolution too.

We intend to make everything that revolves around AAB clean and clear. We are not talking about just news. When we say everything, it includes our presentation manifesto, our content strategy, our style substance, our creative layout, our ad campaigns, our value proposition, everything.

Having said that, we needed to get started on our resolution. The first step towards the same is the layout of our site. While the color schema and layout remains the same, if you notice, we have made it far cleaner and clearer if you will. The boxes are now squared and appear in a proper formation adding clarity to our website. We have got a brand new news slider that lets you take a look at our ‘featured posts’ segment, at the bottom of the page, we’ve integrated a social media toolbar that lets you indulge and synthesize AAB with social media elements like Facebook, Twitter, Chatting and RSS and a whole lot more.

We plan to keep working on this day on day, month on month, with the precise objective of delivering clean, clear and Belgaum focused media content for our passionate readers.

For this design overhaul, we’d like to thank the folks at Leading Minds!

2010, here we come!

admin — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 11:00:42 +0000

Swiss Choclate cake was cut in presence of members of the IT Belgaum group members Aadil Bandukwala & R K Patil. Others could not make it in time for the cake.

It was an enthralling moment for the team at AAB.

Team at AAB express gratitude to each one and all for their overwhelming love for this website.

All About Belgaum turns 2

admin — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 12:51:56 +0000

I want to take a moment to whole-heartedly thank the readers of All About Belgaum for contributing over the past 2 years. It is an absolute honor to share this milestone. This past year has been rewarding; let’s quickly review our journey until this point.

Highlights of the past year:

─ A significant achievement seeded and nurtured by the blog has been the formation of Information technology (IT) BELGAUM group, resulting in professional collaborations between Belgaum-based IT entrepreneurs.

─ Judging from the myriad comments each month, this blog has served as an important online source of news and information for thousands of Belgaumites scattered all over the world.

─ In the 2 yrs since its inception, there have been 1173 blog posts with 1247 comments (thanks for the overwhelming response!), resulting in 110000 visitors in the second year which is a 4-fold increase from the first.

Even during times of significant delay between posts, visitors have continued to exponentially increase the number of page views. To be honest (and maybe a little cheesy), the constantly improving visitor statistics are the biggest driving force that keeps the blog rolling—thank you so much! I remain grateful towards everyone caring to read, even if only once or on occasion.

I’ve met and covered many incredible people, both in person and online. The posts on this blog are constant reminders of these amazing people, many of whom have gone out of their way to help. This blog wouldn’t have existed without their passionate support. Even at times when visitors disagreed and left unpleasant comments, resulted in “teachable moments” challenging my assumptions about the world we live. Would also take this moment to appreciate the contributions of fellow bloggers; they continue to inspire with their knowledge and passion for writing.

Lastly, this blog exists because of you (THE READER), thank you for earnestly visiting and participating. Looking forward to many more conversations in the years to come! If possible, I would like to thank each reader individually, and this can happen only when you leave a comment. To sincerely acknowledge your contributions I have created a list of those who left comments on the blog in chronological order (from the first post until now). It was delightful to look back at all those who have transformed All About Belgaum into a two-way conversation! Thank you again for your support. You rock!Thanks Manas for this cute wish.
