  Thanks for that timethief.. I’d also looked for one before and hadn’t found one I was happy with (or displayed properly on WP).

  I’ll check it out too.

  I’m sorry that it wasn’t what you were looking for. Your best bet is to find a poll you like on the internet and provide a link for it when you send a feedback request to staff. It’s also a good idea to include the reasons that you want this feature to be introduced.

  Thanks, TT, for the link to LuckyPolls. I’ve just put one on my WordPress.com blog in order to: (1) check it out; (2) provide an example for others; (3) take a poll on an issue that sometimes comes up in this forum.
  Here’s the link:

  It looks very clunky compared with a poll set up using the WP-Polls plugin. We don’t have access to plugins at WP.com, unless we can persuade staff to make a given plugin part of WP.com. Here is an example of such a poll:

  Poll: Can Skype replace your landline?

  The poll is closed, with the verdict of those few who bothered to vote being that WordPress should be called WordPress. More at:

  Hi,

  I just want to sum this up. So for the software provided by wordpress.org there is a neat poll function. But for the “normal” wordpress.com users there isn’t?

  I find this very confusing…

  Actually the “normal” version of wordpress is the one found at wp.org. When you see “wordpress” somewhere, 99% of the time it’s the wp.org version.

  Check out the Please read me first sticky for more details and see if that helps.

  @ philipslearningcurve
  Yes, that’s the case. We do not have a poll feature at wordpress.com. Some wp.com bloggers use a third party poll from luckypolls http://luckypolls.com/
