I'm interested in folk's opinions about my "link sausage" journal entries. (Which, in case you first heard the term here or from someone who copied it from me, I stole from [livejournal.com profile] almeda.) I'm not going to limit who can answer the poll, but I am, of course, most interested in hearing from folks who tend to read my journal at least once in a while, whether you've listed me as a friend or not. (Okay, so that's exactly the group likely to see this poll, but I mention it Just In Case, 'cause one never knows how things are going to wind up propogating. Others should feel free to answer, and I'm interested, but I'm going to pay a little more attention to "my readers".) I've asked for feedback before, and even gotten a couple of useful answers, but this is an attempt to get a few more folks to respond, and to put things up for side-by-side comparison instead of just "hey, is this one cool?"

(If I don't get many responses here, I'll just assume that format isn't very important compared to content, stop worrying about it, and go with whatever I'm in the mood for.)

One of these is a lot less work than the way I'd gotten used to doing it. Two are noticeably more work than the way I'd been doing it, but I'm willing to put in the extra work if there's a clear preference for one of those formats. And there's one that looks like it's probably harder than it looks.

[Poll #193157]

I could, of course, ask a lot more questions. And I may do so in the future, but for now I think these are enough to give me an idea how to not annoy my audience away. I still want it to be my journal, not marketing-research-driven play-it-safe stuff, after all. I'm just not as attached to certain presentation details as I am to topic selection, phrasing, opinion, etc.

Should I be collecting all of the links I put in my link-sausage entries onto a web page to make them easier to find later?

I think you should continue to add them to your LJ Link Sausage memories. It's nice that you added descriptions, so that the different sausages can be identified more easily.

Thats a pretty comprehensive poll, espeiclaly with the links to the examples, very well done - and ofr the record I really enjoy your link sausage, so I'm glad you're taking the trouble over it :)

I like the idea of using cut-tags for the longer posts. The commentary is worth reading. I always come back and read the list, but sometimes it takes up an awful lot of space on my Friends page.
