OK. The poll has been fun. And the comments have been entertaining. For those who would like to vote (and have not done so -- this is not Chicago: once will do), I will not take the poll down until Friday midnight.
Because that test worked rather well, I am experimenting with a new blog page element. Rather than merely listing the blogs I read, the list will rearrange itself when new material is posted on each of my favorite blogs.
I have had it running since Tuesday. The upside is that I know if there is a new posting. It acts almost like a news feed. And I can then prioritize my reading. (You can see how it works by scrolling to the bottom of the right-hand column; it is unimaginatively titled "Test Area.")
The downside is that I might miss new comments on an old post. I am an avid reader of comments. Some of the best information, at least on my blog, can be found in the comments.
I should also mention that it does not work with all web sites. For instance, SolMate Santiago will not properly connect.
I am considering switching over from my current blogroll to the more interactive version. But I would hate to lose the SolMate Santiago connection -- and I will need to be more careful about checking comments.
Anybody have a preference?
