Baha'i Thought Goes Democratic


Ok, I thought that I would have a weekend of focused family interaction and was just surrounded by people all playing on their own individual computers. A brave new world indeed. So I guess I also have permission to play with my blog. Just a quick thing. I've been playing with the idea for awhile of having a new feature on this blog which would be a poll question that readers could respond to. It's another effort, in addition to encouraging people to leave their comments, to make this blog a dynamic experience of people sharing their thoughts rather than just reading mine. You can check out the poll in the side bar on the left side of the blog. This first poll will be up for two weeks and I'll see how it goes. This is a way for people who do not feel comfortable leaving a comment to share what they think in an indirect way. If this actually works, I might eventually begin to ask for poll question ideas from readers, but for now I'll generate them myself. Of course they will be related to the focus of this blog which is religion, race, psychology and social justice. Thanks to everyone all over the planet who have made this blog better through your encouragement, comments and prayers. I hope you like this new feature and I look forward to seeing the results.

The poll should be on the basis of rank ordering the problems not isolating one over the other. More difficult math but more informational value

You can pick more than one of the options if you choose. Your suggestion is interesting, but I'm not sure if this feature can do what you are describing. I will look into it though. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and keep coming back!

agree with anonymous. and if the feature says that it can't do it, just say back How Come We Can Put A Man On The Moon But We Can't Rank Social Problems On The Internet?

Leila, it's no mystery. You get what you pay for and I got this feature for free. Of course if anyone wants to start some fund raising..I might just be able to get a more sophisticated poll going (smile).

Thanks for stoppin' by Leila and thanks to everyone who has voted in the poll so far!
