SodaHead Poll Plugin

[Educator]

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to do a poll on our blog asking visitors what we should focus on next month (this month it was energy conservation).

But, I didn't want the standard boring poll widget.

I found the SodaHead plug-in for WordPress. It pretty cool (it's up on our site right now).

It allows you to associate pictures with poll options, it will automatically run through a display of the pictures for the visitor.

You can even very easily (if I can do it any one can since I am technology challenged ) customize the sofware to create your own backgground colour scheme.

If you are looking for a non-boring poll plugin, this one might work for you.

Cheers,
Dan

I agree.

The only disappointment I have with this Poll plugin is that the poll actually resides it seems on a different server, so when the page of the blog appeares, there is a delay in the poll itself being displayed (similar to how if you embed a video on YouTube into a WordPress Widget on your blog site, there is a similar delay within it appearing from the rest of the page's content.

That's why I actually have the poll as the second item on the right column.

Very nice apearance of this poll plugin vs the standard ones I think.
