PollDaddy joined the Automattic team last year, and we have been working on adding some of our great features directly into the WordPress platform ever since.
Ratings
The PollDaddy rating feature that was enabled on WordPress.com last week has really started to see some use. Over 100k blog posts, pages and comments on WordPress.com are now being rated. If you need some help getting started, check out our support page for ratings.
This excellent demo video from WordPress.tv gives a good overview of how the service works.
We are working on a new sidebar widget to show your top rated posts, pages and comments which should be live by next week. We will have all of this available as WordPress.org plugin soon too.
Polls
Our polls feature has been available on WordPress now for about 8 months. About 40% of all polls created on PollDaddy are now created here on WordPress.com. You can read more about how it works over on WordPress support.
If you are a WordPress.org user then you can download our plugin from the .org plugin directory. If you have not used our polls before, this video shows you how to create a poll, courtesy of WordPress.tv.
love it…. brilliant … I use it in a text widget. Really Helpful
Johnonline, unless something changed when I did it, put the shortcode into a text widget in the side bar. I didn’t get the custom look, but the poll was still there.
And I’d like to know how you got some of the features you do have, like the “Blogged” and Blogoversary stuff. I’ve been hoping to get ComiXology features up on mine, and I’m wondering if it’s the same trick.
Great Tool, used them from the start in my blog, 9 after 909, thanks guys!
Wicked – another great time waster – but alas we’re all guilty of that one.
Thanks Lenny for the replies. I am glad to know it is under further development as is clear from your replies to many comments here. 🙂
Good, Better, Best
I do think giving the rating feature could be very useful because at last one can show posts that are rated on quality instead of quantity as in the Top Posts feature. Thanks adding this long awaited feature.
Very nice features. I have also been looking at polladium.com – very nice site.
waoww… i love it
A very helpfull video. There is an ease and comfort to learning visually with a relaxed voice and pleasant jazz to guide and accompany you.
I will rate this a five star experience.
P.S. A side question to the team: Why is there no grammmmeaer check connected to the coommeant window?
We have a smaller toolbar on comments to keep the experience quick and smooth. Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
Very nice feature. Thank you for your continued efforts.
C’ est super!
woOOoOOOww
very cool!
Hey, nice one now i am able to create my own polls and know people view
Thanks team!
Excellent for steering bloggers in the right direction! Thank you.
The polls are great! They’re easy use, and look cool too. I just wish people would use the ones on my blogs though…
this is very helpful! thanks polldaddy.
Brilliant! Now I can quit using q, p, d, or b for rating posts.
I like this very much.
Thanks a lot.
Awesome feature!
Unfortunately I’m just about to go self-hosted on my main blog, so I’ll have to search for some plugin that does that… but nice feat anyways!
Very cool. Thanks for adding new features. 🙂
A great feature for us, thanks
