WordPress.com has introduced online polling widget called Polldaddy (there’s a handy overview about it at netty Gritty’s). Thought I’ll use it to get some input from the YOU – yes YOU staring at the screen. Hopefully it might give me some 3rd part insight into my blog as well as having something different to write about.
Don’t worry you won’t need to give personally identifiable info that could be used be the ministry of cultural hygine to hound you down. Also rest assured that there won’t be any traditional Sri Lankan style polling violence. As for repeat voting – well I’ll leave that to you to avoid 🙂

I like your travel/road trip posts, the one about you at a high profile political party where you talk about the inner workings of that part of society, and the ones about air conditioning. (social status). I do read all your posts. Very interesting blog.

first time I came here following one of your Google maps and then found that I like 99% of what you post. I leave th other 1% for the unknowns. You change your track so often and fast there is no time to get bored. I love your posts about swastikas on trishows to rest house food for vegetarians. But the lesbian kisses even brought some traffic to my site, just by linking to your post about the billboard.
Most you write so well that I spend a lot of time here, as much as I spend reading about RD’s gas emissions.
Thank you for the feed!

My fave has to be the lesbian billboard one. It made me laugh. Followed by the street racing one which originally bought me here and used up a lotta my time commenting on. 🙂
Least has to be the stuff like the so many posts yet none ready to go one. Thats sorta like a quota fill rather than a “I have something to say”.

i wish i could blog as well as you do. you have wonderfully rounded approach to formulating opinions and pick fairly esoteric topics. i love the google earth blogs and share this passion with you.
couple of critiques (in the belief that you may want to hear something to improve on):
1.layout is a bit busy on the home page
2.sometimes find it hard to see the comments

maf: Thank you 🙂
Was getting a bit desperate for feed back about the layout. The layout does need to be changed – its just I’ve been feeling lost as to how the readers for this blog would find it easier to navigate.
When you meant “find it hard to see the comments” do you mean that the comment don’t appear when you click on them, or its hard to see the latest comments?

I went to one of your previous blogs (i can’t remember which one) and was looking for the comments and they did not appear. i then went back to the home page and clicked on the comments in the right column and clicked thru. this may have been an intermittent issue but i thought it was a little annoying
re layout: personally i love clean layouts with lots of white space and clicking thru. a blog i read religiously is http://gigaom.com/ and love his simple layout.

maf: hmm 😐 didn’t have another blog in the past. Just a different layout. Which wasn’t the best. Is that same thing happening with this layout? It could also be a wordpress.com thing. I’d like to sort it out as well.
Greatly appreciate you taking the time to let me know 🙂
Have to admit gigaom.com does has a heap of adds that crowd into its white space. The free blogs in wordpress.com doesn’t let you chance the layout very much but I’ll play around with the things that display on the side cols.
