The OCRegister is about to launch a redesigned Web site so I thought I’d take the time to evaluate  my own blog. Readers have told me — by way of their visits and reading habits — that they can’t get enough coverage about their TV provider and their other big monthly bill, cell phone service.

So, I’ve changed my coverage and focus so I can spend more time covering those topics. But my big welcoming banner and name needs an update, don’t you think? Help me out, readers, by taking my poll and offering feedback in comments. I’ve also let users add their own poll choices. So be nice!

For fun, I’ve added some cartoonized Gadgetresses from over the years with links to the originating posts. (Plus an updated photo of my own little Widget.) Maybe I just wish I lived in a cartoon world?

Much appreciated,

Cartooned!

Addendum, 9/5: When I started this blog 5 years ago, I covered tech news in Orange County and, as some may remember, offered a new gadget review each week. But as all writers here are judged on growing web traffic, I focused on what got readers attention: their TV and phone service. Covering the way paid TV and mobile phone service operates in Orange County is 10-times more popular than what I previously covered. Yes, it’s not exactly a pure tech column, but the world’s already got a David Pogue and many other great, all-purpose tech writers. I’d rather cover an area few, if any, are writing about here in Orange County and judging from reader comments, this is also an under-reported topic nationally.  For now, I’m sticking with this new focus.
