		<description>Dan,

I agree that asking your readers what they want will probably not increase your readership.  Yet, it can be a great way of finding out where your &lt;i&gt;current&lt;/i&gt; readers' interests lie, so you'll be able to provide them with targeted content that will keep them coming back.  (It can also provide ideas for future posts, which &lt;i&gt;always&lt;/i&gt; come in handy!)

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Personally, I may increase/decrease my readership to someone’s blog if they have changed subjects. Like if someone went from a personal blog to pay posts, then I probably would visit less.&lt;/i&gt;

No worries about that here!  I'm signed up with one of those services, but no one ever wants me to write a review!</description>

		<description>Good topic Dan!  I like the poll idea, but having open feedback is good too.  It could be more valuable, depending on what the blogger is asking.
