Poll: How-to Mondays -- useful or not?
If you're a regular Wonk reader (and thanks very much if you are), you know that the regular feature here is the How-to Monday post. It covers various aspects of living in the area -- how to find apartments, how to improve your credit so you'll pay less for a mortgage, how to handle problem neighbors.
The posts get a lot of hits, but just because you're clicking doesn't mean you find it worthwhile in the end. I'd like to know if you do because -- with fewer reporters on staff here now -- I can't afford to waste my time on not-so-worthwhile things.
So weigh in: Very useful, somewhat useful or not useful?
If you think it would be more useful if only I would cover [your topic here], suggest it -- either in the comments below or by email. Next Monday's How-to grew out of a Wonk reader's question.
UPDATE on 8/28: Ninety percent of you (well, the 20 of you who cared enough to vote) said to keep on reporting the How-to posts. So I will.
At least until I go on maternity leave. Then I do plan to take a break.
Comments
I do think they might be more useful as part of some sort of FAQ, or on a site like "about.com", but I think they're a great resource, and I'm glad you're doing them.
