In the Announcements category.

Something special has been cooking in the oven. Vote on it!

I’ve been toiling at a plugin for a little while, and I think it’s finally time to release. Please welcome Poll Position to the gallery!

Poll Position is a plugin that lets you create polls right inside of Movable Type.

Woah. Let’s stop right there. How cool is that?

Similar to working with Entries and Pages, look in the Create menu to start a new Poll, or the Manage menu to edit existing ones. The number of polls, response choices, and votes is completely unrestricted, so you can go wild learning about your site’s visitor base! The poll form can be styled to fit the design of your site; and the poll results (a great-looking bar chart thanks to Google Charts) can be customized to match, as well. The price? 100% free!

Not enough for you? Step up to Poll Position: Champion, which offers a full compliment of template tags to create a custom poll form as well as results, and a “Poll” Custom Field type to make including polls on entries super-easy.

Oh yeah, try voting in a simple poll, too. As always, your feedback is appreciated!

Hi Dan,

I installed the free version of Poll Position, and have created a poll, and tried to insert it into an entry and the form didn’t show. When I view the source code, the tag is there, but that’s all, no html for the poll.

Am I missing something? I have the two lines of code in the head and everything else seems to be ok.

Hey Toni—MT won’t process tags in the Entry Body or Extended field; this is one of the reasons you might need to use Poll Position: Champion so that you can create a custom field to add it.
