Public Voting on Celebrity Gossip goes live
People that who are too lazy to register for the site can now rejoice. You may now vote on stories even though you have not registered for the site. Early on during site development I went back and forth deciding on whether or not people should register to cast votes. Today I decided that having public voting can only make things better.
Time will tell what kind of impact this has on the site. In case you’re wondering, public votes will influence the gossip stories just as much as newly registered members of the site. So it shouldn’t be too big of a problem. The most importnat part is that it can be done in perfect harmony with registered users. That’s why developing your own site can be fun!
At this point I am very tempted to allow anonymous voting for comments or even submitting comments. Anonymous comments could lead to spam (among other things) but on the other hand, most gossip blogs allow it. So I will ponder this and ask others for their opinion on the matter.
