Okay, so Accordion Guy made me do it.
BlogPolling Voting System seems simple enough, but for a doofus like me?
Actually, I’ve been asking David to set up polls for me, but it was pretty far down on the list of to-dos around here recently. So this may be the way for me to go, since I got good results from using both Blogrolling and Bloglines. Yep – that’s the Amerkin way – outsource it!
Let’s give it a shot…
Well, I’ve got the right style elements working, but the radio buttons don’t show up once they’ve been clicked.
Hmm. More pondering required.
Updated to add:
Hmm. I had assumed the CSS stuff went in the stylesheet, but the source on their main page makes it look like it goes in the index file?
Hmmm.
(later)
Okay, now radio buttons back – no, they’re gone again.
Hmm.
Even later still…
Aha! The source code of Blogpolling.com’s page pointed me in the right direction. I was trying to put the custom CSS in the CSS page… apparently when using the (style type=”text/css”) tag (brackets switched to parentheses) it goes in the main index.
Another aha! I had originally set 5 minutes for allowing another vote. Just wasn’t waiting long enough for the buttons to appear. And now it’s wide enough for my typically wordy stupid questions and answers. Also I think I have it set to “reset” in a minute, and not allow ballot box stuffing (using cookies).
Although – “vote early, vote often.” Maybe I should re-think the cookie thing.
Okay, so that was a little harder than it looked, but eventually I worked it out (probably bass-ackward, but it’s working and not broken)((now it probably doesn’t validate)).
Hey, Timmy!! Don’t worry about what it all means, just push the button already.
