BOW
List of Blogger Indonesia of the Week, Blogger Indonesia of the Year and the requirements to get reviewed.
I make a blogger of the week (BOW)’s feature as a way to encourage, appreciate and promote Indonesian bloggers who blog in English. After several months I run this feature, it got attention from blog-indonesia.com–the largest Indonesia blog directory–who offers me to put the feature in its sidebar which I gladfully accepted. Thus, once your blog gets reviewed here, your blog will be promoted not only in this blog, but also in blog-indonesia.com. Thanks to its founder, W.M.
The requirement to get reviewed is simple: (a) Your blog is written in English; (b) The blogger is using original name or so it seems; pseudonym or ghostname blogger will not be considered unless for specific reasons; (c) Blogging frequently; (d) The content is original and not commercial (blog about career, vacancy (lowongan kerja), scholarship (beasiswa), etc won’t be included).
Each year, I also award the Top Ten Blogger of the Year for English-speaking Indonesian blogger whose blogs I already reviewed as Blogger Indonesia of the Week. The main criteria being not only the quality content of the blog, but more particularly, the influence and sort of leadership on-and-off-line the bloggers in question carry.
So, if you are an Indonesian and have an English-speaking blog and you feel it fits the above criteria, it’d be of great help if you put your blog URL address in the comment box below along with a brief intro. In the next few weeks, it could be your blog turn to be reviewed. Keep blogging, writing and sharing your precious thoughts.

I have one blog in English. And it is an International fans site of Persib Bandung. the URL is http://persib.net.
I do not know it is a blog or not, but for me it is my special blog.
thx
Hevi fauzan.
what a great way to motivate people to blog more in English, i happen to have an english blog, care to check it?
here it is my blog: wazeen.blogspot.com, it’s all about my view/thoughts on nationalism, islam, blogging and sometimes on Indonesian Islamic traditional boarding school (pesantren). thanks mas Fatih
I have a personal blog in english containing my view on Indonesia’s phenomena (http://muhyiddinblog.blogspot.com). I also co blogger in Lesehan Taman Suropati (http://tamansuropati.blogspot.com) where we all are government officers who put personal opinion about Indonesia’s public policy. I am the admin in this blog.
I started blogging on May 2007, so I am still learning how to maintain and improve my blogs.
All Babies have reason to informing with their cry
Assalaamu ‘alaikum Mas Fatih.
I have experience problem with google adsense into wordprees, but they used into their wp. like your wp. Please, inform me? Thank’s, Best is the best that’s all for you
@Arief: what wordpress you used? self-hosted wp? just in case you use wordpress.com you cannot insert adsense there.
hmm interesting..
I’m in.
ah.. wrong URL.. sorry for the double entry..
My blog mainly tells stories about my life in Singapore, along with some interesting findings and photos
Hi Mas Fatih, salam kenal. I’m just a beginner blogger. Learned it from Rane Hafied. Mostly I talk about how technology should be more empowered in the livelihood of our nation. I’m quite passionate about making live more convenient here in Indonesia through the use of technology. Hope you can find time to check out my blog: http;//augustmist.wordpress.com
Rgds
Mas Fatih,
At first, I wrote in English only to improve my skills in it. But since I’ve found the pleasure of blogging and how much I like to share my thoughts with other people, I finally created my new blog on the beginning of 2008. It’s about my life experiences and hope it could brighten someone’s mind.
Considering I’m a new blogger, I still have to learn many many things, but hope you have time to check it out: http://ayu-anopenbook.blogspot.com.
Thank you…
I am not Indonesian but have been in Jakarta for 15 years now…
I do not mind if I am not considered for ‘blogger of the week’ because I am not Indonesian…but my blog is about Indonesia and it is in English http://therabexperience.blogspot.com/ …Hopefully, this is enough for you to consider it…
Cheers,
Rob
@Rob: your blog is certainly eligible for review. thanks for the info.
i have adsense blog, the blog is about muslim, so please help me to earning money, becouse 30% my money will spend for help muslim people. thanks
Awesome.
Your efforts for supporting the local sphere will always be favoured and appreciated in kind, sir. Not everyone can do it and gets out alive! Harhar ..kidding.
Anyways, I’ll be blogging at Journal by The Lightbeamers, MD., independently writing from Jakarta, Indonesia.
Much thanks, and Happy New Year 2008.
I think you have made a great effort to encourage, appreciate and promote Indonesian bloggers who blog in English.
I have a blog which contains English lessons: grammar, vocabulary, idioms, games, etc. I hope this blog will be useful to those who have interest in learning English.
yes.. i’m just learning blog.. and try to write english .. even its more difficult than indonesian
a blog about tips and tricks to customizing blogger templates, and yes of course you can find downloadable blogger templates too there.
the URL? it’s http://www.JackBook.Com
thanks
Hey there Fatih, I happened to stumble upon your blog somehow (already forgot why, was just randomly following links in other blogs) and eventually got to this page…
See, I have a blog written in English, despite the majority of the readers (if any) being Indonesian. But the thing is… my blog isn’t exactly like most other blogs, which are mainly about writings. My blog is mainly about photos. I’m a photography student, and consequently my interest lays in anything photography related. I don’t write about politics (never understands one bit of it) I don’t write about the recent development of a national issue. I don’t write about entertainments. In fact, I write about something that most people wouldn’t get. And once again, the writing is rather minimal… you can say that while most people express themselves by writings in their blogs, I express myself through my photographs. Will it still be eligible in this ‘project’?
Anyway, I’m not usually interested in participating in the blogosphere scene for the reasons mentioned above… but you’re supporting a good cause and I agree with your points so I figure I’d give it a shot. At the very least I guess I can show you that there are these kind of blogs too in Indonesia. Oh yes there are many others like me.
Cheers from Jogja, sir!
what a wonderful blog to link and build network! we can share knowledge, experience, opinion as a global society. thanks for this blog
Congratulation philry4n! Your blog is very great and also very helpfull for lots of blogger especialy for me!
True, this is another nice idea to encourage more blogger to write their blog in english!
