What's a blog anyway?
A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically.like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly, from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction..

What is Q-Blogger?
Q-Blogger is just one of QuestionPro's many ways for publishing surveys to the internet user community. Technically, it is an implementation of a public Application Programming Interface (API) that integrates the QuestionPro.com online survey site with popular blog sites. A link to a survey, and optionally a link to real time results are automatically posted to a blog by entering the blog user's login information.

Why Q-Blogger?
QuestionPro views the internet as the most powerful medium connecting millions of people around the world that has ever existed. We believe the utilization of the web for publishing information is only one piece of a larger puzzle. The ultimate power of the internet is in creating a two-way forum where the consumers of internet news and information are given the opportunity to express their opinions and feedback. Blogs are effectively a real time diary of news and information that is relevant to their readers. Q-Blogger offers blog owners a tool for measuring reader opinions quantitatively and immediately.

How does it work?
QuestionPro.com employs a simple to use wizard interface for authoring web surveys. After creating an electronic survey at QuestionPro, you will simply need to visit the link for publishing your survey. Posting the survey as a link is as simple as selecting your preferred blog site and entering your login information. Clicking on the link at the blog site will direct users to a survey hosted by QuestionPro.com. QuestionPro takes care of everything else by collecting the responses and providing tools for analyzing your results.

What are people saying about Q-Blogger?
Here's what could turn out to be one of the most interesting add-ons developed for bloggers this year
Blogger Forum
I just conducted my own informal poll and 9 out of 10 Helens agree that this software could be very useful.

Makes me wonder what other add-ons will be coming up next.
EduBlog Insights
Seems to me that those into weblog research or online instruction might be considerably aided by adding online surveying to their tool chest. QuestionPro provides templates and conducts statistical analyses.
