Wow, it’s even simpler than I expected to create and add a poll in wordpress! Cool!
So, for the browsing enjoyment of my local blog readers, I’m starting a new polling feature under the “for fun” tab. I’m allowed 100 votes per poll (see correction in comments below!), since I’m using a free function from polldaddy.com. So each poll is likely to be up for a week or so. Just to keep the energy here positive and innovative, most of my planned polls will be unrelated to employment. Wait, that came out wrong! I’m not suggesting that employment can’t be positive or innovative! OK, never mind. You know what I mean!
For those of you who are wordpress users yourselves, here are some really helpful links. I’m not kidding when I tell you that teck-line’s directions are so straightforward that I completed this in a matter of minutes!
Here is a link to Onecoolsite’s blog about adding polls in wordpress. From there, I found a link to the blog with directions by Teck-Line. And here is a link to one polling site that offers some free functions: polldaddy.
Hello Elyse,
Thank you for the link love and the complement….
For the polls there unlimited votes
for your site with the free acctount ….
The Surveys are unlimited but only allow
1oo responses a month
Teck
You’re welcome, Teck!
And, for everyone else’s reference, Teck is absolutely correct! Unlimited votes on polls; it’s the surveys that have the number of responses per month. I was so excited that I misread the charts!! That’s a happy problem!

What a terrific resource you put together for all of us seeking employment.
I really enjoyed your article comparing compost to interviewing. It’s all so true! Say too much and you sound desperate, say too little and you appear complacent. One must find that perfect “balance”.
Keep up the good work being our eyes and ears. The tips are helpful no matter how well you think you’ve mastered the art of interviewing.
Bests,
Rose
