Now testing: Ask Me

The new Ask feature lets your friends or readers ask questions that you can choose to answer on your blog.

You can enable it from your new Messages page (where we’re about to start adding a bunch of new messaging options!).

They even come with a bunch of new theme variables for designers to format them:

{block:AskEnabled}
    <a href="/ask">{AskLabel}</a>
{/block:AskEnabled}

{block:Answer}
    

        
{Question}


        <span class="asker">
            <img src="{AskerPortraitURL-24}"/>
            {Asker}
        </span>

        
{Answer}

    </div>
{/block:Answer}

Enjoy!

What do you think of big city living?

It has grown on me more than I thought it would. There’s a lot of diversity and choices like the food we eat, how we travel (train, bus, car, taxi), and what we do at night.

I love being surrounded by strangers. I was tired of running into someone I knew any and every time I went out in Bloomington whether it was getting lunch, going to a bar, or just crossing the street.

I’ve also started to appreciate the faster pace of the city. I’m pretty laid back, but I notice a subtle slower pace whenever I get out of the city.
