Democracy Plugin for WordPress

Tagged as No Tags

New feature alert: there’s a poll in my sidebar using this plugin. You can add an answer if none of the default choices look good to you, and when you submit your answer the poll will refresh without reloading the entire page. It’s pretty slick.

Of course I had to do a Tour de France poll, because I’ve been eating up OLN’s coverage since it began two weeks ago. I’m not much of a sports fan usually, but I’ve been hooked on the Tour for several years now—helped along, naturally, by the amazing performances of Lance Armstrong. I’m betting on him for a seventh straight win this year, but he’s had some competition from some unexpected corners—Valverde, in particular, has surprised everyone with a very respectable performance.

Update: I heard a rumor about this just minutes after posting last night, but today it’s confirmed: Valverde has abandoned the Tour due to knee problems. A very good performance, though, and since he’s only 25, he’s got plenty of Tours ahead of him.

    Hey,

    Firefox is bombing on your site because of a xhtml problem in my plugin :(

    I’d suggest you turn off XHTML served correctly until I release an update, which should be some time today. Sorry!

    Thanks for letting me know—FireFox seems to be displaying the page properly on my system (Mac OS X 10.3.9/FireFox 1.01), but I’ve disabled content negotiation for now anyway.
