I think the link at the end of the article is fine. Should help direct
people to the polling question.

If we really want to move the poll up higher on the page, we have to a)
remove
or reduce the size of the "Learn more" box, and/or b) move the blog
headlines
further down the page.

We created that "Learn more" box to drive people to the Knowledgebase,
which
seems to be working because it gets a lot of page views. I hesitate to
move the
blogs down because that also seems to be a favorite feature of the site,
and
people like to see what's been posted.

As I mentioned in my previous message, we added a link to the poll from
JoAnn's
article and also in the <soapbox> and in the Forum topic. Hopefully,
that will
encourage participation. IMHO, the poll is nice, but it's not like
conducting
survey research is a main objection for us, is it?

Also, the poll isn't obvious at all. Too far down on the page.

The Transitional Text poll and forum (http://dita.xml.org/forum/85) are
both
up. Please review and let me know if they look okay. I seeded the Forum
with a
first post, but JoAnn, you might want to replace/edit that with your own
message as forum "host".

Seth should be adding the soapbox to the homepage today. When that's up,
JoAnn,
can you post a message to dita-users and encourage people to visit the
site?
