I also agree that HelloBar or something similar that just hangs out at the top is a good balance.

I've always avoided pop ups because I know they annoy people. While I find them a little annoying, I'm ok with other bloggers doing it if they choose. It's bad when stuff keeps popping up or it's hard to make it go away! I think the hello bar is a much better option.
