One of the things I've been wanting to do for a while is review my blog content for the year and select the "Top 10" posts or the "best of" posts. But, a top ten post would focus on the content itself - and also jump start some thinking that I need to do for a redesign of this blog.

Since I'm using a typepad blog and Vizu is a partner, it was point and click easy. (Maybe I'll go out tonight dressed up as one. that's why I made it black and orange.). I ended up today at the Bamboo Project site where Michele takes us through how easy it is to set up a Vizu Poll. Can widgets help you listen better? What do you think?

Blogging, the activity, includes linking, frequent updates that center around short bits of text, permalinks to content to make it easy for other people to track.
