Dog-eat-dog blog

I am testing the new poll feature, and as such there is a new poll under the posts. I don't like the new features that blogger keeps adding. It takes what little challenge out of blogging there is, or was. I had videos here before the video bar, I had polls before the poll feature, news before the news reel, and so on and so forth. It's just a little harder to make a unique blog. So, I suppose in the end, it ups the ante. It's not enough just to have flashy features. It depends on the blogger himself. Challenge the world!
