You lucky registered users you!

Any registered users should notice a NUMBER of useability improvements tonight.

  • The home page has become useful (not just marketing) and will have featured polls, etc.
  • The Your stuff section is now a “dashboard to your polls.” You can monitor how many votes, who’s winning, latest comment, etc.
  • You can now email your poll out AFTER you have created it. Just click the link on the left of any poll.
  • RSS feeds have been improved to show you how many votes a poll has and how many votes the winning option has.

And as a bonus to any readers of this blog:

I thought I’d let you in on an undocumented secret. The little list on the side of my blog? It’s done with one line of code:

<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://quimble.com/js/list/topper’></script>

where topper is my Quimble login. It produces semantically correct code in the same way that the poll code does (so you’ll have to style it yourself). Let me know if you’re using it or if you want any more details.

UPDATE: Don’t know about the weird spacing - not supposed to be there

    This script is very cool, is there a way to show the most voted?
    BTW, it should be called ‘poll position’ ;-)

    The weird spacing comes from ‘text-align: justify;’. Try this:

    blockquote { text-align: left; }

    Thanks hlb. It’s a little better now… I guess because of the URL. Anyway - thanks for making suggestions.

    Wish: It would be nice is to have, when we check ‘let everybody add options’, the ‘add option’ box too, or at least a link for it. Did you notice that I added it to the 3spots blog sidebar?

    (I meant above, the script to get the most voted, like on the “browse page”, that anybody could use?)

    Great job you’re doing! :) :-) (
