More of an administrative post today.\u00a0 I was hoping to get some feedback from you readers about a change I&#8217;ve recently made to the blog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you look in the right-hand sidebar I&#8217;ve added two Twitter feeds, one for comic books and one for Doctor Who (both popular topics here).\u00a0 I thought this might be a nice geek-news aggregation resource for readers while on my site.\u00a0 What I&#8217;m looking to find out is if this is useful to you.\u00a0 If not, are there any ways to make it useful to you (i.e. list 10 tweets instead of 5, create a feed for Star Wars, only show tweets from news sources, etc).\u00a0 Also, is there anything I can do to make the blog more interesting or relevant for you?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Typically when I ask for feedback like this I get a couple responses.\u00a0 That&#8217;s depressing considering hundreds of people read this site everyday.\u00a0 I can prove you&#8217;re not alone.\u00a0 Scroll down to the bottom of the sidebar.\u00a0 Towards the bottom, there is a section labeled &#8220;Users Currently Online&#8221;.\u00a0 That&#8217;s the number of people on ONCE UPON A GEEK at that moment.\u00a0 See, you&#8217;re not alone.\u00a0 Now c&#8217;mon folks, help me out here.\u00a0 Suggestions you provide will only make your experience better here.\u00a0 Y&#8217;all are a great audience, so I&#8217;d appreciate any feedback you&#8217;ve got to share.\u00a0 Please feel free to comment here or send me an e-mail at shag@onceuponageek.com.\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Tell the world about ONCE UPON A GEEK:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2896\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/wordpress\/2010\/02\/24\/looking-for-feedback-from-once-upon-a-geek-readers\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2896\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/wordpress\/2010\/02\/24\/looking-for-feedback-from-once-upon-a-geek-readers\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/wordpress\/2010\/02\/24\/looking-for-feedback-from-once-upon-a-geek-readers\/?share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/wordpress\/2010\/02\/24\/looking-for-feedback-from-once-upon-a-geek-readers\/?share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span>Reddit<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-2896\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/onceuponageek.com\/wordpress\/2010\/02\/24\/looking-for-feedback-from-once-upon-a-geek-readers\/?share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey gang!
