I know a poll can be added to a post or page. I have not yet tried to add multiple polls to a page or post, but I’m sure its possible. If it is, is there a way to have them alligned side by side, to make say, 2 rows of 4 polls, rather than a single column of 8?

thanks but what would the code look like for 3 or 4 side by side?

The limitation is the maximum displayed image width in your theme and allowing for some additional spacing within that between the polls.

If you are placing polls in sidebars then that limitation is again the sidebar width in your theme. However, I just clicked into your site and you have a premium theme so it won’t appear in the list I linked to. There is a link for the specific Premium Theme support forum under Appearance -> Themes in your blog’s Dashboard and you can get support directly from the theme designer there.

Not concerning the wide of the theme (I’d be using the “micro” poll theme so it wouldn’t be a space issue), what would the HTML look like for 3 or 4 side-by-side polls in a single post? I am a novice with HTML and don’t know how the 2 side-by-side would translate to 3 or 4.

They would look TERRIBLE. Especially in the P2 theme. Do them as separate polls.

Separate posts, I mean. Three or four polls smashed up in the space that we have here in this forum (which is approximately the same as the P2 theme) would be incomprehensible.

The reason I ask about 3-4 side by side (3 would be great, 4 would be too much) is because I run a movie blog and 3 would be convenient as I am planning on doing a user-voted Oscars, and 3 micro/narrow polls side by side would use up less vertical page space.

I just would like to know what the code would be in order to do it, regardless of how it looks. If it looks bad, I won’t do it, but I would like to try it and see how it looks.

The basic coding would be this:
```
<table>
<tr>
<td>SHORTCODE1 HERE</td>
<td>SHORTCODE2 HERE</td>
<td>SHORTCODE3 HERE</td>
</tr>
</table>
```
You might need some refinement, to change the spacing.

I have placed a poll on the front page but why is the code showing too? How to get it off?

You pasted it in the Visual editor instead of the HTML editor, perhaps? Go back in and re-paste it in the HTML editor instead.
