Adding a Poll to my Blog – Oagalthorp
-
How do I add any of the “Web Gear” from this site to my blog. I don’t just want a link, I want to know how to add the fullthing without clicking anything? Please be very specific, I don’t know much Internet lingo, and I’m a rather poor learner. Thanks to anyone who helps!

If you’re asking about a specific site, always include the link and be specific.
I can tell you this: the only polls that work at WordPress.com are http://www.luckypolls.com . All the others have javascript or something that gets stripped out.

Start a new post.
In the editor, switch over to the code view.
Go to lucky polls.
Get html and copy it to the clipboard (control-c after the text is selcted).
Go back to wordpress’ editor.
Paste code into box (control-v).
Switch back to the visual editor to check things out.
Tweak as necessary.
Publish post. -
For some reason, you cannot use ‘<form>’ in the hosted WordPress.com blogs. I added a Text widget in a sidebar and copied my poll code but the form items are removed.
Weak…
-
You’re right. You cannot use forms, iframes, or any kind of embed other than those specifically allowed. It’s because we’re on a shared blogging platform and a security risk introduced by one person is thus shared across all blogs using that theme. Thus, we have a smaller list of acceptable items. They’re all in the FAQ under Embeds, Video, or Audio.

Doesn’t lucky polls have an HTML option?
I thought we were sending folks over there that wanted a poll.
Or am I just imagining things again?
-
Yes, Luckypolls has an HTML option. I don’t know what slearl is using, but it’s probably not Luckypolls.
