The form itself I think is exactly what Bryan Eisenberg was recently talking about in making forms scary and intimidating.

I took one look and I was gone.

Such is life.

Yes the form is quite complicated but the upside is you might discover some great blogs in those categories, you are also free to skip over any categories/blogs that you don’t read.

Nevertheless, I understand. Thanks for your intent to vote for us anyway

unfortunately their form is a great example of how not to set up an online voting form;

and how to make sure people don’t vote.

I was all set to vote for you, but when I pressed the Vote Now button I was confronted with a huge page that went below the fold and asked me to give a rating to everyone in the list.

There’s no way I’m going to waste time doing that.

I just wanted to vote for you, not rank dozens of other suspects I’d never even heard of.
