I like to keep it simple: at the bottom of each post you will see the like & dislike buttons. Please use this system to rate the actual post and not the validity of the content/rumor or your personal Nikon preferences/expectations (I will be adding separate polls for that when appropriate). Based on your feedback I will make future adjustments: you will see more of the “like” type posts and less of the “dislike” posts. Thanks!

I am still testing this solution – I noticed that sometimes it takes a while to update the results. It seems that voting automatically triggers a refresh and the latest numbers are displayed.

Recap of what I have done so far (most of it based on your feedback):

• redesigned the Nikon price watch section – now it includes also lenses (updated daily)
• NikonRumors Forum – already has 715 members
• Nikon rumors rating system
• posts rating system now online
• NR is also on twitter (about to hit 3k followers), Facebook, Flickr and Friendfeed
• email and RSS subscriptions have been full text for few months now
• started PhotoRumors.com

What’s next:

• NR giveaway (hint: make sure you are registered in the NR forum)
• NR blog color selection – readers will be able to pick between black or white background
• a special secret surprise… no, just kidding 🙂
