Not Denise Dell (grin).

Now I remember what I did. At the bottom of your comment is the link back to your last article. The plugin isn’t properly adding an apostrophe where it says, “Dennis Edells last blog post…”

I’m almost positive that I searched for “Dennis Edells” on MyBlogLog.

I think we’ve strayed from talking about using PollDaddy to put polls on our site.

I don’t actually keep the widgets on my blog anymore. i have the links above the fold for a better CTR and sign-up ratio.

This particular widget I would make a separate page like ours.

I don’t know what happened when I was searching for you on MyBlogLog. This morning, I had no trouble finding you when I searched for “Dennis Edell”, “dennis_edell”, or even “Dennis E”.

I guess it could be that I misspelled your name when I was looking.

Just don’t use those MyBlogLog.com widgets on the same page as a PollDaddy poll, unless you want to take the time to isolate and correct the CSS code.

i looked for that particular widget awhile ago when I saw someone else using it….I guess I’ll look again.

Thanks.

All I did was add a line of javascript to show the MyBlogLog widget. There are two of them on the page.

I searched for your name on MyBloglog, but it didn’t return anything? Are you a member there?

If you are, or want to be, it’s pretty easy to add the services you use to your widgets.

Log in to your MyBlogLog account, and then click the “My Account” link at the top of the page.

Set up the services you use by clicking the “Services” tab.

They can help you keep track of quite a few social networking services.

After you set up that page, click the “Widgets” tab.

I use the “About Me Widget” to link to the social networking services I set up on the “Services” tab, plus links to my communities on MBL. That’s the top widget on my Social Networking page and is the one surrounded by the box. I think that’s the one to which you were referring.

I use the “New with Me Full Page” widget to show my recent activity around the web. This, again, depends upon the services that were set up using the “Services” tab.

It takes some time to set things up at MyBlogLog.com, but it pays off later when you can easily syndicate your activities and sites using just one line of javascript for each widget.

Act on your dream!

Another of the nice things about using PollDaddy is that I can create one poll and use it on multiple sites.

It turns out that the CSS conflict was between the poll and one of the MyBlogLog widgets I’d been showing in the right column.

Today, I deleted both MyBlogLog widgets and moved them to a new Social Networking page.

Of course, adding another page resulted in messing up the row of page navigation links right below the header, so I spent a few minutes finding the code for that and deleting it. The pages are still listed at the top of the left column, so they shouldn’t be hard to find. Since I plan to add a number of additional pages, this was something I’d been planning to modify when I found the time.

After making these changes, it looks like the poll is maintaining the appearance I expected, so maybe I can turn my attention to creating some interesting polls and adding them over the coming months.

If you look at this page, does the poll look okay after the entire page loads?

1. It actually looks nice. It isn’t overbearing, and it is cosmetically pleasing on a site.

2. It doesn’t bring you to another page after you vote. One thing that really irks me about online polls is that when I cast my vote it will take me to a results page or something. I would rather stay where I am and continue reading. So I like that this poll shows the results without bringing you to another page.

I’m working on rebuilding another website today and when I finish that, I’ll turn my attention back to seeing if I can find the CSS conflict here.

It’s not a huge problem for me. I can always create a poll or survey and link to it from here.

At this point, I’m interested in, but not committed to, PollDaddy.
