An update about my first poll

Mark Lindner kindly pointed out to me today that some people may not know where the poll is that I mentioned in a post a few days ago. This is because if you read this post — like most people — via an RSS aggregator and go to the single post page on FML, you won’t see the poll at all in the sidebar. Instead it is only visible on the main page of FML. Doh! You’d think I would have thought of this and avoided it but no.

Anyhow, to make it easy on anyone who wants to participate, I’ve included the poll below as part of this post. Take a moment to tell me what you think:

Poll: What motivates you to comment on a post (or not)?

In an effort to try something new (polling) as well as to get some feedback on aspects of this blog, I loaded up the excellent WP-Polls plugin tonight and created an initial poll. The question I’m asking from now (Tuesday, April 22) through next Monday (April 28) is the following:

What motivates you to comment on a post (or not)?

Please take a minute to fill out this poll so that I can get an idea of what you think about commenting on blog posts. The poll is in the righthand sidebar. It should only take you a few seconds to complete. Results of the poll will be available for you to see. Thank you in advance!
