New BC Feature: One-Click Voting

If you haven't been following the comments, Ryan made a good suggestion yesterday regarding voter participation on BlogCadre. His theory is that we are all really lazy and don't want to click on every post and then click again to vote.

I think he's right.

So now we have one-click voting on BlogCadre. On the home page, the new posts area, and on your blog pages, you should now see a vote button for each post in its preview form. If you haven't voted for a post, this area will display with a blue background, so it shouldn't be hard to miss.

I hope this improves the site experience and the speed to which your awesome posts hit the home page. Please let me know what you think!

I like it

So far I've been liking the one-click voting. It makes it real convenient for people to come in and vote for interesting posts without the hassle of clicking back and forth. Hopefully this will increase participation.

Yeah, I'm lazy too.

I agree

Not that you're lazy...that this one click voting thing is way cool!

only users

yeah, the permissions for voting haven't changed or anything. i just hacked the code a little to add the voting system to the post teasers (and then another hack to remove it from the rss feeds...)

it looks like there are a couple minor layout glitches with certain browsers. this thing is straight out of the oven, so hopefully i can find a little more time to clean it up a bit.

Just an Idea

is there a way you can make it register the vote without refreshing the page?

I am on my Dad's computer with a measly 256 kbps connection and its sluggish here... Its fine on my 7000+ kbps connection at home.
