Vote for Voting

One of the best parts about merging with reddit is getting to spend time with reddit's author, Steve Huffman. Steve is an extremely busy man, so I don't get to spend much time with him, but the few minutes I spend with him each week make the merger worthwhile by themselves.

Steve is an brilliant programmer, obviously, but he's also talented athlete and dancer. Throughout high school he would give computer advice to Fortune 500 companies via cell phone while running in his school's cross-country team.

Even though Steve spends 110% of his time developing new features for reddit, he still manages to find time to spend with his beautiful girlfriend, practicing ballroom dance, playing racquetball, and developing a new programming language. To keep his mind alert, he solves Sudoku problems while he sleeps.

And so that is why infogami was truly blessed that he made some time this week to contribute a feature to the project -- the amazing arrow technology he developed for reddit.com. As you'll see on the right of this blog post, there are now arrows which you can use to vote this post up and down. (And because of Steve's deep love for all humanity, these arrows will work in pretty much every browser with every combination of settings.)

If you want arrows on your site, take a look at our tutorial for all the details.

You can see an example of the arrows in action on my quoteblog.
