I voted no . I like these features and use them.

By knowing the blogger's mood and the music he is playing at that moment in time, I feel I understand him better.

I'm probably a little late chiming in here Todd, but yes, by all means, please remove them. Knowing you though, I'm quite sure that you'll come up with something even better to replace them with.....

yes, remove. expecially since so few are using it. depending on how much web space this site has in its set budget...(I honestly don't know) you could utilize the space for something more popular.

but, I am sure you already know this...

I appreciate the opportunity to vote on the matter.

Thanks everyone for your input yesterday!

A very clear majority of you said that you were supportive of removing the Mood and Now Playing inputs, so that's what I'm going to do.

To those who voted to keep them, please believe me when I say that I agree with you, in that I like the concept myself. After all, I came up with the idea of putting them in there originally!

I look at them every time I look at a standard blog entry, and I find it interesting to read the author's mood, and even... [ More ]

Yes. Who cares what mood you're in.

I think you do what is in the best interest of the members here and I think any change you have in mind is something you feel will improve your site.

I couldn't vote, because I use it 80% - 90% of the time, I do read it on others' blog when I read them, but I don't want you to have to do more work. So I guess I am saying I agree to have it removed.

I can always add it to my own blog, when you remove it, so I gave my response, but I was torn and could not vote.

yes, remove. I rarely pay any attention to that.

I voted yes, however, it really doesn't bother me to have it there. I dont read to see what kind of mood someone is in or what they are listening to at the time of the blog.

My mood doesn't change much anyway. I am determine to be happy.

Yes remove, please. Someone can preface the body of their post by stating that information first if important to them.

Yeah, I think you should remove it. IMO, It's not a big necessity.

I personally enjoy seeing what kind of music others listen to. You can tell alot about a person by what kind of music they listen to. So I voted to keep them.

I can usually tell what mood they are in by the blog, though, so that one is useless to me as well.

That has always been useless to me, better to enter a little audio into the message, at least a few words per post.

I used them when I first joined, but then realized that no one really cared what I was playing in the backround or what mood I was in. I'd think they'd know what mood I was in by the blog entry itself...lol

I voted yes.

I am in the process of updating the text editor in the blogs system to use the latest version of the rich text editor.

In the process of upgrading the text editor (which requires a complete rewrite of the page), I am reviewing the necessity of keeping the Mood Now Playing entry spaces.

I have noticed for several years now that those space rarely are used, and in fact the premium blogs don't even display anything entered in them. Myself, I can't even remember the last time I entered somethi... [ More ]
