How To Add PollDaddy Polls On WordPress Blogs in side bar
Yesterday i have tried to add a poll in the right side.
But i didnt know how to do that, i have been searching for the answer, but cant find the answer that i have worked out.
Now you can see a poll on my blog in the left side…. how is it?
1) First you need a polldaddy account, it is free… also you can find the polls link in our wordpress dashboard
2) click Polls -> Add new – First time it will ask for register… register free and get an account
3) Create Poll – with options you need (select narrow theme for side bars)
4) View Polls, and click the HTML Code
5)Copy Short Code
6) Goto Appearance ->Widgets
7) Activate / Drag Text widget to side bar
Enter a title and paste the short code in the content area
9) Thats all.
Thank you so much for this step-by-step explanation. I did it but the font is too big for my blog page. How do I reduce the font size to say 10 or 8?

Thanks for your comments.
I searched for that, but there is no option to change the font size.

Thanks so much dude. Wonderfull tutorial. Very easy to follow…..My first poll was too big for the side bar but i found just another narrow poll that suits my side bar perfectly. Like Shekspere once said ” what’s with the poll design? all we need is a poll” lol
Keep up the good work. God bless.
