About the Header

Sorry for yet another change in the header- Lunar-tic didn't survive for long, did it? Its time was up about two or three weeks back.

Now. I've found that Google Docs offers a brilliant, easy to use service- making use of its Forms, you can create polls and put it up as posts or whatever.

You might question the necessity for that. Let me think of one.

Now, I don't know your reading habits. My suggestion is that this blog reads better when you read it through Google Reader. That is because you get everything that is written here as soon as it is posted on this blog, plus you are rid of the useless clutter that weighs down this blog- it does take some time to load, right?

Now. if I include a form inside the post, an interesting thing happens.

The form shows up in the feed of this blog at Google Reader. And you can fill it up from right where you are!

You know what this means?

You don't even have to come to this blog to make a comment. You can do that with a single click in your Reader.

Isn't that amazing?

With some knowledge of html and things like that may be you can make it so that the comments that are made in the form immediately show up at the blog in the comments column, may be it is possible, may be it is not, I don't know- but the point is this: you are reading a post as a feed, and this gives you a chance to make a comment from within the feed, and your comment can be integrated into the blog.

This, to me, is amazing.

I hope someone big in the social network world, or Blogger wakes up to the potential of this and implements this, so that all comments show up immediately with the post.

But unfortunately, as it is, your comments will be saved in a spreadsheet- I won't know who you are, but I will get what you say. That is why the name of this blog is 3 day pollster- otherwise it'll just be pollster.

What this means for this our close-knit community of vbelongherers is this- you will have to wait for three days to know what happened to your comments.

I don't think this will be too much of a problem- there are just three or four of us reading and commenting on a regular basis- if you are dying to know what the other two or three of us are saying, just send me a mail and I'll let you know.

Life is good, right? You can never tell...

About the Header

I've changed the header in keeping with the trend of the latest posts, but the url will remain the same.

Lunar-tic is pretty unimaginative, but the previous header was not a stroke of genius, either.

What the new header is supposed to indicate is that, we people of Earth look at the brighter side of the moon only, and it takes imagination- or evidence- to see the darker side.

There are now news of India from the print media that are being posted, and they contain both good things and bad things about India.

We will save one aspect, and try to play down or talk down the other aspect.

That is a bit lunatic, and a bit of habitual response- tic. So Lunar-tic.

I mean, not only we, everyone in the world projects either a bright or a dark future. This is not about Indians, specifically.

Hope you enjoy the latest series of posts.

When the trend changes, the header will change too- let's keep it creative.
