She wanted to know "What widgets, gadgets, or features of blogs do you dislike." Some of her multiple choice answers range from counters, trackers, third party advertising, blinkies and music players.

The results are a great tool for any stamping blogger to take into consideration when choosing what to put on their own blogs. For example, I was surprised to see that 24% of responders say they dislike slide shows. I’m not a big fan of slide shows either, but had no idea many others felt the same way.

Take a look. Interesting comments, too.
