Seeking Layout Feedback
Today's QotD entry includes a little layout change, sticking a graphic with a title attribute next to the quote. I don't know whether folks will see this as pointless, annoying visual clutter, innocuous decoration, a cute feature (see below), or a near-miss. Right now it's just a one-shot experiment; depending on feedback and how much energy + patience I have, I may make it a permanent fixture at some point, try other related ideas, or just drop it and leave my QotD entries pretty much as they've always been.
First, the gut reactions:
Poll QotD layout experiment feedback
Then, if you're curious about my reason for the experiment, there's a slightly sleep-deprivation addled explanation below yesterday's QotD. But since this is rather secondary to doing the QotD itself, I wanted to check whether it turned folks off, before engaging the "ooh, tech thingie, let's tweak" sides of my readers' brains.
And no, I'm not wedded to this particular technique even if I decide to continue the general approach; and yes, I'm aware of the problem with trying to see long title strings in some browsers; so of course, brainstorming in the comments is welcome (as is discussion of why you think it's pointless/annoying/nifty/etc., if you want to give more of an answer than clicking a radio button).
