Okay, the polls are closed. We asked you to vote on whether you were okay with having video links embedded in this weblog and an amazing 909 of you wrote in to tell me how you felt. I'm not sure what I would have predicted but it sure wasn't this: 858 of you voted in favor of the embedded videos. 14 of you voted against them. A bit of a landslide, wouldn't you say?
I feel sorry for some of the fourteen…the ones who wrote that the links crash their computers or just plain don't appear…or they're on dial-up connections and the thing loads at the speed of a boulder eroding. To make their visits here a little easier, I've changed something about the main page here. It used to feature the current day's postings plus the previous four days. Now, it features the current day plus three. To read earlier posts than that, you click on the link at the bottom of the page. That should speed page loading up a bit.
The remaining 37 voters said things that didn't fit wholly into the YES or NO categories but were mostly more in favor of the embedding than against…so I think the embedded video links are here to stay. Thanks to all who voted.
