While I enjoy the blog very much, my main suggestion wasn't listed in the poll;

Fewer Polls.

Scrolling back through, it seems very poll-heavy, and I've never put much stock in snap internet polls. They're the kind of thing that colors perceptions ("OMG!!! Interest rates are going to double tomorrow!!! Everybody is saying so!") and subtly influence people's behavior, even though internet polls are notoriously unscientific and inaccurate.

Hee, Ryan! It would have been a pretty funny option for a poll.

I do one a week (plus a post summing up the results of the previous week's poll). I figure some people are interested and the folks who aren't can easily skip. It's aimed at launching a conversation -- but I take your point that people can read more into the answers than they ought to. I sure don't want to contribute to overload of opinions based on squishy data.

So what do you think, dear readers? Fewer polls? Should I poll you on it? ;-)

As Ryan asserts polls are notorious.

You may have noticed (if you track such things) that while I will comment in a poll thread I've rarely voted in one.

Some topics are perhaps more appropriate to poll the readers on... but to be concerned with finding a topic and writing choices for the sake of a schedule... well, don't do it for our sake.
