In yesterday’s poll I asked how many inactive themes do you have in your WordPress installation. This came from a tweet that suggested a search system would be necessary just to find the themes that were installed, let alone those on the repository.
My initial guess would be that, besides the defaults, few people would have more than one or two themes. The results show otherwise:
By far the highest group, 40% of the vote, was those with more than five additional themes, which suggests that some form of filtering system would be a very good idea.
Andrea pointed out in the comments that the latest build of 2.7 lists the tags for each theme. Could this mean there is a filtering system still to come?
I have just closed my poll about what other WordPress sites you visit on a regular basis and given the number of responses that I got I have decided that a few more polls wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Results: Which WordPress sites do you visit on a regular basis?
The clear winner of this poll (not that it was a competition) was WPCandy. The were around 160 votes in all and 41 of those were for WPCandy. Those guys have clearly captured the interest of WordPress users and developers.
Last night I went into Leeds to meet up with a group of Northern Bloggers for a chat and a curry, and one of the interesting conversations I had was about the jobs that people do back in the real world. It is really quite interesting that when you get a group of bloggers together you all think of each as types of bloggers in the same way as you might think of someone as an accountant, or plumber. When you ask someone what they do you are more likely to get the answer, well I blog about X, rather than, I answer calls on a support desk, or I shuffle paper.
What does come across at though is that actually blogging very often is a part time gig. So I wondered what is it that most people do? Are most WordPress users and developers coders by day, or do they do something really different. That is the point of this poll.
I’ve started the ball rolling with my day job which is as a financial compliance policy specialist. So what do you do?
In the past few days I have read quite a few posts about the decline in advertising revenues as a result of the credit crunch. That put me in mind of all the great WordPress related blogs that I visit that have advertising so I decided to do a quick poll.
With Automattic’s acquisition of PollDaddy it seemed rude not to use it, so this seemed like an opportunity to give it a try, again. So here is the poll:
