As most of you likely noticed, we've just changed the Buffalo Rising Poll. Last week's poll asked readers whether they'd vote for Carl Paladino if he ran for Governor of New York. In a very tight race, Buffalo Rising readers registered 626 votes for Paladino and 612 votes against him - further validating the 'love him or hate him' view of Paladino.
Picking up on last week's article on our effort to modify the design and layout of BuffaloRising.com, we want to know what type of content you want to see more of on the site. Do you want to read more articles about food and restaurants, retail stores, politics, real estate or sports? Let us know in the poll (or the comments).

I think the mixture of content on the site is good. If the site is looking for a significant overhaul, I'd have to suggest higher journalistic standards. The variety of quality is as wide as the variety of content. There are some posts and writers that are consistently well-researched and written. Then, there are others that seem to be posted without a cursory fact-check or proofread. I do like the site overall, but sometimes it's just embarrassingly amateurish.
