ArticlesI am working on another web-site with a similar colour-scheme. After asking for, and receiving, a critical review of the content of the draft site, the question of colours came up.
You know, I had never heard the term “cane toad” used as an adjective before. I was surprised. I (obviously) don’t find the colours of this site objectionable.
Web-site colours are partly an issue of readability, and mostly a matter of preference.
Time to see what the readers feel. If no-one likes it, I’ll change it. If it is just one person complaining, I will ignore him.
Please vote in the poll below. (RSS feed readers will need to visit the real site to see the poll and to see the colours, too.) Feel free to add you own comments or options.
[Stop press: The poll is now closed, but I can’t work out yet how to close it without hiding the answers. Please don’t vote!]

Enjoyed your comment and the ability to post a blog. Saw your code at
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/37853
and wanted to include the option on my site, but can’t seem to get it working. I have Democracy in a sidebar now and I want to be able to include the poll in a post, but nothing shows in the post.
I copied your code and inserted it in index.php. I created a poll and added a custom value to the post, called “pollNumber” with the value equal to the poll number. Is there anything else?
Thanks in advance…

Nevermind!
Can you believe that I was modifying the wrong index.php? DUH!
Your code works beautifully, and thanks…

That’s great, Rod. I am glad you pointed me back there, because there was a patch there I hadn’t installed!
For the listeners at home, trying to keep up: The blog polling software I am using is called Democracy. On a forum related to that software, I posted a few lines of code to show it could be trivially customised to meet a need that I had. Rod had a similar need for his blog, but had some trouble using my code. Fortunately, he found the problem quickly at his end.
