Marcus Hamaker is The Sleepy Geek

I have been writing this blog for quite a while and now it’s time to really get some feedback. To date I have very few comments from my posts and to be honest the readership is quite low. I really feel strange asking you to come on over and give me information but I really do write this blog for you and would like to make sure it’s of value to you.

These are the kinds of things that I am curious about:

1. Do you read The Sleepy Geek because of the personal point of view articles I write or for the technical articles that I write?
2. Do you think that I post too often or not often enough?
3. What topics would you like to see covered more often?
4. What topics would you like to see me drop all together?
5. What would make you feel the need to comment on the posts?
6. Do you subscribe to the RSS Feed (preferably through Feedburner)?

On top of those questions I would really just like to start a dialogue. More than anything I would like to almost make the site more of a conversation than my own personal soap box.

So come one, come all… post your ideas and comments. I would love to hear them!

Now that I have the comments working (the problem was caused by the theme I was using) I now have installed a really cool little plugin. It allows you to login to the site with an OpenID to post a comment. Many of us have an OpenID thought a service that we already are a member of. Most notably are Yahoo, AOL and Flicker however there are many more on the list.

I encourage you to register locally on the site if you wish. That feature is working and even preferred so that I have a more complete profile of you. That’s nice when looking at comment posts.

If you decide to use the OpenID approach, please have a look at your profile before posting. Some OpenId providers such as Yahoo will give you a name about 3 characters long full of gibberish. It doesn’t look nice and I can’t credit you with comments if I need to.

Now the next step in this process is to get the theme fixed. I am really torn because I love the theme I was using but don’t really want to invest much time in repairing it. I plan to use Chris’ social media theme that he is working on for his site. At this time he has said that he plans to make it free for everyone’s use.
