We folks at Tripod are always on the lookout for new and cool things we can do to make your homepage building experience faster, easier, more interesting, and heaps of fun. One thing you've been telling us for a while is that you want more cool things to put into your pages; you like guestbooks, page counters, banners, the Homepage Console, and the many other services we offer, but you want more. Over the next month you'll be seeing a new set of things you can put in your pages - whether you know HTML or not - that are guaranteed to knock your socks off. But there's still a lot more that we can do. This is where you come in: What new things would you like to be able to put on your Web pages?

We also know that some of you are pretty good at this stuff, and are doing your own programming at this point. In the past, we have not allowed people to put their own programs on our servers due to security issues that crop up. Now, however, we've come up with some solutions to that problem, so we'd like to ask you programmers some questions too.

The topic is pretty broad, so we've got a series of specific questions below. We've also included a generic comment form below, so if you have an idea or comment that the specific questions don't really cover, please tell us about it there.

Lastly (and most importantly) 10 lucky participants in this survey will win a Tripod T-shirt! Cool, yeah? Just make sure you fill out all the questions - the punks who don't will not be eligible. Read the contest rules.

1. Put a check next to each of the following items you'd be totally psyched to use on your page. (Try to refrain from clicking on things just because they sound cool, but aren't anything you'd actually use.)
Polling - a poll asking visitors a question and recording the results
Quiz - a quiz asking a series of questions
Games - small games that you could customize for your page, like Hangman or Word Jumble
Random Quote - puts a random funny quote from a celebrity on your page each time it is loaded
Random Text - like random quote, but you put in your own quotes/text
Random Image - like random text, but using images instead
Random Music - like random text, but using sound files instead
Music Feed - pipes in music from an online DJ onto your page
Clock - a graphical or text clock showing the current time
Comments - asks visitors for their comments, and shows the latest ones on the page
Last Modified - shows the last time your page was modified (so people know if your page is up-to-date)
Timely Content - shows certain text at some times of day, other text at others. You choose the text (or image), and the times
Countdown - shows how many days remain until the event of your choice
Site Search - lets people search your site for a key word or phrase
