Solona Poll - What is your favorite pizza brand
Poll question launched on www.solona.net a few weeks ago.
I tried to offer as many brand options as possible, including the option to choose that you eat at local and independent pizza establishments.
Take a moment to vote.

Solona puts one year on the shelf.
I posted an article on Solona.net about reaching one year of service. http://bit.ly/9aVctp I won’t repeat it here.
Everything about Solona is very rewarding and fulfilling. This might sound silly, but I never imagined myself launching this kind of web service. Now that it’s been one year that it officially launched, enough time has passed to reflect on different aspects of the...

Website changes
It’s never a bad idea to spend some quality time re-tooling the website.
New text, new images, column movements.
I spent about 5 hours re-writing some pages and re-working the front page layout.
The Thesis WordPress theme is quite user-friendly. They also provide very good support.

New Solona.net poll question added
I told myself that I’d like to wait until at least 100 unique voters (or at least 100 unique IP’s, lol).
The last question needed about one month to get to that point.
This latest question also represents a new direction for the Solona poll. I’m not going to limit the poll questions only to Captcha-related topics.
So let’s see how long it takes to get to 100 responses. ...

Finally! The Solona Mail List is setup
Gawd. It’s only about 6 months late!
But the mailman list server for Solona is setup! The idea is to use the mail list as a support mechanism for users. Furthermore, new features and service updates will be channeled through the mail list.
The URL is: http://lists.solona.net
There’s only one users list at this time. I’m thinking about establishing a couple of other lists...

New Poll on Solona.net front page
I like it when people provide insight to candid questions.
In an effort to collect accurate information, I place a new poll at the top of the solona.net website each month.
The poll I just posted asks this question: Under what web browsing circumstance(s) do you most often encounter a Captcha? You can select a maximium of two choices.
There are five choices from which to choose:
1. Website...

New Poll Question added to front page of...
I want to get some feedback from users.
Do users think it is important to offer an HTTPS connection for their Solona sessions?
It has been discussed among the team leaders, but there are some programming considerations and expenses that would be incurred.
I’ll leave the poll up there for a couple of weeks and see what the results are.
I found a great poll widget for Word Press called WP...

Solona launches a reCAPTCHA Training Tool
Many websites use Captchas as a way to prevent unwanted registrations, forum entries, or blog post comments.
reCAPTCHA is one of the most widely used tools for Captchas on websites. It is easy to implement, it is easy for users to solve and updates/enhancements are provided by the author.
Another valuable feature that is built into the security device is an audio captcha challenge. The audio...
lesson learned
Well, I spent about 30 minutes writing a nice entry, only to hit SAVE and see an error :(.
From now on, I’ll be sure to copy my post to a local file…just in case.
But from what I see, I really like Tumblr and look forward to using it!
