Endometriosis Blog: Results Of YOUR FEEDBACK On Endo Blog TOPIC CHOICES POLL!

You may or may not have noticed the poll that has been in the right sidebar for awhile now entitled: "What Endometriosis (Or Related) Topics Interest You Most? (You May Check More Than One Answer)."

Well, obviously some of you have seen it because you took the opportunity to cast your votes! Thank you to those who did vote! The more feedback I get from endo blog readers, the better I can tailor the blog to meet your needs.

HERE ARE THE RESULTS OF THE POLL ---

"What Endometriosis (Or Related) Topics Interest You Most? (You May Check More Than One Answer).":

Chronic Pain and/or Illness:
41%

Infertility and/or Miscarriage:
16%

Co-Existing Illnesses/Conditions (i.e. fibromyalgia, interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome...):
50%

Endo's Impact on Relationships:
25%

Stress and/or Anxiety:
25%

How Support Groups/Networking with Fellow Patients Can Help:
16%

Integrative/Alternative/Complementary Medicine:
33%

All of the Above:
33%

Other:
0%

While this poll is obviously not a scientific one, I think the high percentage of readers interested in Integrative/Alternative/Complementary Medicine is significant!

So, I will continue to focus in this area especially in the future. I've also made note of the interest in the other topics mentioned in the poll!

There are many things I take into consideration when deciding what to post here on the endo blog...

For example, I pay close attention to which posts get the most feedback with posted comments. I will also take into account the results of this poll. Also, I review statistics on which parts of the blog get the most clicks. The traffic monitors sometimes give me clues on how to proceed as well. All of these bits and pieces of feedback really help me to customize the blog to meet your needs!!

I really want to emphasize that your feedback on polls like this truly helps me decide what to write in the future.

So will your posted comments on this blog!!!!!

Some days I may just post what I'm in the mood to post but I always try to keep in mind what information has been meaningful to me AND to my local endometriosis support group members. This really helps me to figure out which topics may also be of interest to you!!

While feedback on posts I've already made IS VERY HELPFUL, it doesn't tell me what I may be MISSING or SPENDING TOO LITTLE TIME ON. I'm afraid I don't read minds. :) :)

Soooooo, if there is an endometriosis-related topic you'd like to focus more attention on, please let me know. Perhaps there is something we've touched on that you'd like to discuss in more depth. Maybe there is an endometriosis-related topic that you would like to suggest that we haven't talked about? The more feedback I get from blog readers the better!

I am looking forward to continuing to receive more feedback like your comments and poll results in the future. It really WILL help to shape the direction of this blog if I know what your needs are and how this blog can best serve them.

We have already spent a good deal of time discussing the "Co-Existing Illnesses/Conditions (i.e. fibromyalgia, interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome...)" category on this blog.

I DEFINITELY plan to continue to focus quite a bit on these topics as they scored highest from the readers who took the poll on what topics are most interesting or informative.

So please keep that feedback coming! It really helps guide me as I'm deciding what topics to include and how much time to devote to each.

By the way, now that the results of the poll are posted here I plan to remove it from the sidebar shortly and replace it with something fresh.

Thank you! :)

Endometriosis Topics: What Interests YOU??? Let's VOTE Using A SHORT Poll To Show What We Want To Read About Endometriosis!

Making Our Endo Blog the Best It Can Be:

I thought this might be a perfect time to ask you and other endo blog readers like you for your input!!

Story ideas/topics can range from one word ones like "infertility" to phrases/questions on loaded topics like "does anyone have tips for dealing with loved ones who just do not understand the limitations that endometriosis puts on me?"

In an effort to determine how to best meet your needs, I have developed a SHORT poll.

Please view the new (and very quick!!) poll. It's in the right (pink) sidebar - after "welcome" and before "archive" sections - of this blog. So cast your votes and have your voice be heard!

I've included the poll to determine which topics interest endo blog readers the most. It allows you to VOTE for one or more of the topics listed. It'll provide feedback for me on YOUR support needs and I'll get to see what my fellow patients are looking for/expecting in an endo blog.

Simply select any (or all) options you find applicable; then just click on "vote" to view the results of the voting by you and other endo blog readers thus far!

I think the best way to make this blog successful and thriving is to elicit input from endo blog readers like you! Who better to ask for input than YOU???

You may know exactly what information/support you're searching for or in need of...

Or maybe you are overwhelmed and NOT sure what to look for...

Either way, I'm sure you can help me focus in on the issues that will be most meaningful and useful for you and your circumstances.

I could honestly write blog posts all day, every day --- but it wouldn't be very productive or useful if no one reads them or finds them helpful! THIS POLL is a chance for YOU to provide input that will help me focus in on the topics that matter to YOU the most!

Please take just a moment (I just checked it's 9 quick clicks OR LESS!) to do the endo blog readers' poll. Just select the topic(s) most interesting to you.

Also, IF you fall into strictly the "other" category listed last, please feel free to email me directly with any endo ideas(s) that I did not list --- but that you would like to see featured. In that case, just email to this address: endendo@frontiernet.net.

If you email ideas directly, PLEASE fill in the email's subject line with "endo blog ideas" (or something similar) --- so your wonderful emails won't get lost amongst a bunch of spam... and I'll be able to use your input & ideas to create new posts for the endo blog. I can't guarantee I'll cover each idea submitted immediately but I will most likely take bits and pieces from endo-related idea emails I get and somehow interweave them into a narrative.
