Hello, Melody! I'm very impressed that you knew how to include a polling device on your blog - you obviously are quite advanced!

ms. know it all,
you can do it too. That was the simplest thing I did. Go to Customize, Layouts, Page Elements, Add a Page Element and you'll see Poll. Click and there you go. Wish you were here to join one!
