I use WordPressfor my blogging software. It is quite popular notably because of its extendibility through plugins. A plugin goes beyond the core functionality to add special features, like the poll to the right. I am playing around with some different plugins so you might see different things from time to time. I had to change my theme to allow some of them, like the poll. Eventually, I want to settle on a set theme or design but I want to play around a bit first to see what I like and don’t like.
Speaking of the poll, I don’t get too many visitors, mostly my wife, parents and sister. Still, I am curious who actually looks at this site. The poll on the top right is to gauge your relationship to me. I am wanting to test out this plugin to see how well it works, but I am curious who takes the time to view my thoughts. I do really appreciate your time. Thanks.
I like the poll on the right side bar. That’s a nice touch. I don’t think I can do that on my blog (blogger).
If you want to get more people reading your blog, one of the best things you can do is to leave comments on other people’s blogs. If readers like your comments or find them intriguing, then they will click the link by your comment to check out what else you are saying.
