    Are You Using the Democracy Plugin?

    If you understand the title .. you must have a Wordpress blog, and have probably tried the Democracy plugin by Jalenack. Now .. I can't really show you this in action here, at HART-Empire.com, because - well - I have not activated this plugin - plus, this wordpress blog is only 1.5.2 version. (I should upgrade soon I guess).

    ANYWAY ... DID YOU KNOW ...

    * That you can have multiple polls running on your blog? * I didn't - that is - until last week. I knew you can have at least one poll going on in your sidebar .. see http://1800HART.com/blog/ - because I am asking businesses what accounting software they are using. I'm also using it at http://PetLvr.com/blog .. asking what type of animal lover people are ... * But - Now go and look at my third site using the plugin - http://62-151.com/polls/ I just created 3 crappy polls .. feel free to answer them all :) There may be more in the future, if I can think of something nice worth polling readers about.

    And how did I do that?

    * You should be on the latest wordpress version 2.0+ * You need the latest Democracy plugin version (see above link) * You need the Exec-PHP plugin to allow PHP code directly inside your wordpress blog. * Create pages - In my 62-151.com template, the pages shows up in the header automatically, so I created subpages to keep them separate. Ideally, I think that is the best way to go i.m.o. .. although I suppose you can place all your polls on one page, or embed them on certain daily postings, etc etc. As you know - in your template .. the code would end up something like this in your sidebar ... (NOTE: replace [ with the lessor than < sign)
