Default Advice on how to implement this poll box design?

Hello everyone. I signed up to make a poll with PollDaddy.com and after trying out their widgets I decided to make my own. Here is the poll box design I made for myself in Photoshop ...



I have no clue how to implement this using code, because I am not a coder. I was wondering if anyone here could let me know how I could do this? I would want it to appear exactly as it looks above because its size and color scheme match that of my blog and the other elements that are already in my sidebar.

Thank you.

Hmm, ok it could be done with 4 <div> tags and all the properties specified in CSS. First div would be the container set at 225px wide. Then youd have the other 3 inside, one on top of the other. The first with the title, the second one with the little strip with the speech balloon corner and the third one with the question. You can also specify an image for the submit button, in this case would be a crop of the button.

Its easier than it looks, not really a daunting task but you will have to spend some minutes reading about the following:

- CSS, Cascading Style Sheets
- the <div> tag
- the <form> tag

Learning about CSS and the <div> tag will serve you well in the future as a blogger/designer, I can guarantee it. A simple google search will give you lots of tutorials on each. If you manage to put something rough toghether feel free to post it and I'll take a look at it.

I'm a horrible coder, so if someone comes and says it can be done with less I wouldnt be surprised! This should get you on your way though.

I love it. Wish ours looked more like that. That being said I'm not a coder so I'm happy with what we have. Do wish it was slightly more 2.0ish...
