My sister-in-law wanted to add a section to her new blog that would enable her to post a poll. After some searching, I came across a WordPress Plugin, WP-Polls that was written by Lester Chan. I downloaded the plugin, unzipped it and uploaded the polls folder that was created to my wp-content/plugins directory.
Activate the WP-Polls plugin. If you are using widgets, make sure you activate the WP-Polls Widget plugin as well. Since I am using widgets, I just dragged the WP-Polls widget to my sidebar.
It was very easy to add a new poll. You will have a new tab on your menu called Polls. There you can manage your polls and create new ones as well. I have added a poll to the side of my blog so you can see what it looks like.
Lester Chan has created a forum for support for the plugin. If you have any problems, visit the forum, it is extremely helpful!
very interesting.

Nice news, tnx
Polls are a great thing to gauge the true lifeblood of a community, the problem is most are slanted and you aren’t getting the true facts. Social Media is an awesome living poll, if you know how to find the right data.
