So, I realize not everyone wants to comment on these various posts (especially mine… :-P), but looking at traffic data, I can tell that more than a few people are actually visiting this silly blog of ours. Thus, I’ve wanted to set up some way for people to express something about a post without actually commenting on it. This solution has been available for awhile, but I’ve been too lazy to do anything about it.
Therefore, I have set up a “+1” button (for Google+ users) and a “Like” button (for Facebook users) at the bottom of each post. It will include the number of people that have “plussed” or “liked” each post, giving me some idea of whether people are actually reading anything when they visit the site.
Just a friendly public service announcement. 🙂
I follow the blog through my reader but I kept meaning to take the extra click and comment that I love the What Did the Linsenbardts Eat For Dinner/Lunch posts. Please keep them coming.
Interesting! I use Google Reader as well, though I mostly use it to “star” posts I want to read, and then I open each one in tabs within Chrome. Always good to know how people read!
And we have a few more food posts coming. Don’t you worry. 🙂
Where is the dislike button?
Thankfully, WordPress already has a means of banning people from posting. I will need to figure out how to do that, methinks. 😛
