How to post a poll on your blog
Post number two is going to be all about our new poll widget that allows you to post a poll on your blog or website. Polls Boutique’s widget, just released, is fully customizable and allows you add any kind of media to it, and even put your own picture as a background.
But I know some of you are asking, hey – but what’s a widget anyway?
A: A widget is a way to take a piece of one site- say, polls boutique, and place it somewhere else, like a blog or social network profile. Our widget lets you take your polls boutique polls and place them on other sites. It was built with blogs in mind, and we’re currently working on widgets for Social networks and other web platforms.
Posting a poll on your blog doesn’t have to be difficult. All you have to do is post a poll on pollsb.com, click on the white share button on the bottom left of the poll, and copy the embed code.
You can then paste the code on blogging platforms such as Blogger, Typead and Wordpress, and voila! You have yourself a poll.
Here’s a basic poll widget generated using pollsb.com:
If you wish to customize the poll, change the color scheme and make it match your design, click on the white share button, and then click “Customize Your Own Widget”. You’ll find yourself in our poll customization area. Once there, you can choose any color you’d like, define a new font, and even put a picture as a background. When you’re done customizing, just click “create” and get the widget code to take with you.
Here’s an example of a fully customized picture poll widget:

Posting a poll on your blog is a great way to interact with your audience, to ask them something, get feedback, and generate news in the form of results. Give it a try.
