Add some interactive features to your weblog. One popular way to get readers to share their thoughts (especially if they're too shy to leave comments) is to allow them to vote in polls. Free Blog Poll offers a simple solution to bloggers who wish to use polls.
 

Here's How:
1. Go to http://www.freeblogpoll.com/
2. Enter your poll question and choose the number of answers (minimum of 2 and maximum of 20). Click on the 'Next' button or choose to preview your poll first by clicking on the 'Refresh Preview' button.
3. Enter the possible answers. Then, click on the 'Next' button.
4. Customize the look of your poll by changing the text (poll header, vote button, results), design and number of times a person can vote.
5. Click on the 'Refresh' button to preview your poll. Click on 'Finish' if you're happy with the way your poll looks like. Otherwise, you can click on 'Reset' if you wish to start over.
6. You will then be given a JavaScript code, which you can copy and paste in to your blog's template where you want your poll to appear.
7. Here's a sample script you can use: <script language="javascript" src="http://www.freeblogpoll.com/view_poll.php?poll_id=376"></script> The poll question is "What blogging system are you using?"
8. Have fun voting and creating polls for your blog!
 

Tips:
1. Ideas for poll headers/title: Poll of the Day/Week/Month, My Poll, Blogging Poll, etc.
2. Click on the color pail/bucket to get some ideas on which colors to choose.
3. You can add your poll in to your blog as a blog entry and/or as a feature on your sidebar.
