O' The Times, They Are A Changin'

Things change. Times are different.

To remain relevant and competitive in this ever-changing world, Gina's Blog must change too.

This might be difficult for some of you. Some of you have been readers here for a long time (OK, a month or two), and you might feel like things are comfortable the way they are.

But Gina's Blog must change or die, people. Change or die.

So rather than wait to release some of the new innovations, I'm just going to curtail the unwarranted speculation by some bloggers out there by fessing up. To your right, you'll notice a new poll feature, where Gina's Blog will ask YOU, the reader, what YOU think.

Some call this user-generated content. Others think of it as crowd-sourcing. It can even be called online-only content. Whatever you call it, just make sure it's hyphenated.

As with all new adjustments, things are not perfect. Think of this as the "beta-phase" of the poll feature. I'm testing out some different poll models, each with their own strengths and limitations. We'll see how things go. It might be a rough ride at times, but I hope hope we can get through this tough period together.

It's an exciting time. I hope you'll stay tuned.
