  I am trying to use the PollDaddy stuff that is integrated into my WordPress Dashboard here, to put a poll in my sidebar.

  I cant make the basic polls, using the predefined styles just fine. But if I make a custom style, it doesn’t use my custom style. It just continues to use the pre-defined style I had originally selected.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We can’t answer without a link to the blog, starting with http.

  Err ok. Not sure what that gives you, but my blog is at:
  http://dragonagemodding.wordpress.com

  That gives us absolute confirmation that you’re hosted here at WordPress.com. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who think they are, but turn out to be using everything from WP.org to Typepad. We can tell what’s what just by looking at the URL and it saves tons of time.

  Now, have you read through this:
  http://blog.polldaddy.com/2009/09/10/style-your-own-polls-on-wordpress/

  It’s possible they’re talking about WordPress.ORG instead of WordPress.COM, but I’m not sure.

  Thats the thing. I see it in my dashboard just as shown in the image there. I create a custom style, then create a poll using that style, but the poll uses the pre-defined style instead :(

  Then I think they need to clarify over at polldaddy; it could be just for wp.org.

  No, it’s for wp.com: I tried it and it works.

  @jwvanderbeck: what are the exact steps you followed?
