  4. Hey Marshal,

    Quick question since this is my first time on BAT. When voting starts, are we allowed to only vote once or can I vote for multiple people?

  5. @Deepa,

    When voting starts, you'll be given a voting format. You can vote for up to 3 of your favorite blog-a-tonics from this edition, and all 3 of the votes would need to be in the same comment.

    As Marshal S.i.S has mentioned, the voting post will be up at 6:30pm IST, so enjoy reading the other entries till then.

    Cheers and all the best,
    Leo.
    C0-marshal, Blog-a-Ton.
