Of Thumbs and Stars

Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed that I dropped the one through five star rating from this blog and am just sticking with the thumbs up/thumbs down ratings. When Thoreau advised us to "simplify, simplify" I don't think he was referring to blogs, but it is still good advice. So if you like an article on this blog, give it a thumbs up. If you don't like it, give it a thumbs down. Simple no?  It's OK if you give a thumbs down... you won't hurt our feelings. Honest feedback tells us blog authors what articles you find the most interesting. If you have a few seconds leaving a comment telling us what you think is even better. We read every one. You can also give thumbs up/thumbs down to blog comments. Think your comment is the wittiest? Give it a thumbs up. I promise I won't tell.
