I want to create a continuous poll to encourage visitors to answer about 6 multiple choice questions and then post the results as they occur, on both my blog and my web site.

I have the questions and answers, but am stumped on how to create the actual poll.

I would appreciate any help. I read through a number of general topics and did not find this one.

Then low and behold I see at the bottom of this submission page where I can add a poll? I am clearly missing something.

A while back we created a simple polling service called Blogpolling which allows you to create polls for your weblog. Instructions for creating a poll and adding it to your blog are here.

If you are looking for something flashier, dPolls looks interesting.

Thank you John.

Once again you are ahead of the game.

Will give it a shot.

John,

Where can I go to read the instructions on the poll package you sent me to. I am trying to create one poll with 6 different questions, some have multiple guess answers. I tried to do this with the problogger poll package. It appeared that I was only able to have one question per poll.

Did I miss something?

If you're referring to our Blogpolling service, you can create polls with multiple answers but it is not possible to create a single poll containing multiple questions.

As for the dPolls service we suggested, you would have to check with them directly for support for their service, I am not really familiar enough with their service to say what is and is not possible there.

Thanks John for your quick and clear answer.

I'll give the other program a shot, but I might have to change my poll to one question, or have several polls on the same web page and blog. I'm kinda partial to your stuff, because it works and because of your support.

Bill

Very Happy
