Since the day I published my first article on DerekBeau.com, I have been writing with the intent to help people improve their “make money online” skills. To achieve this, most of what I have written has been based on the premise that you’re already pretty established in your internet business ventures. The problem with this is that I don’t know that that is the truth. I don’t know how much money you make, how much technical knowledge you have, what areas you are experienced in, and what areas you need help in.

Today I was faced with the dilemma of not really knowing what you want to read about. I actually wrote two full drafts and ended up deleting them because I didn’t think they suited this blog well enough. So, instead of writing a motivational post or a how-to guide today, I would just like to get to know you better.

Finding a Plugin

To accomplish this task, I did a Google search for a Wordpress poll plugin. Initially, I was going to use “Democracy AJAX Poll,” but then I found out that it did not support multi-choice polls. I also learned, from reading comments, that the latest version (which was released in September 2006) actually contains a fair amount of bugs. A second search for another plugin led me to “WP-Polls.”

I like WP-Polls a lot because it adds an entirely new “Polls” tab to your Wordpress admin area and has a ton of easy to configure options. Of course, it also supports multi-choice polls, which is a main feature I was looking for.

Creating the Poll

Anyways, I created a quick poll with one question and seven choices. Please take the time to vote so that I can get to know you better and write articles that suit your needs. Feel free to choose as many options as you like… I am really looking to find what I should not be writing about.

I think polls are a great way to connect with all of your readers that, for one reason or another, do not comment. Even though they do not comment, they are still very important to the blog. Because of this, I think I will be doing a new poll on a regular basis… maybe monthly.
