Adding a ‘Poll’ or Survey to WordPress

I've had several questions lately about adding Polls and/or Surveys to your WordPress blog in order to do a 'contest'. And in a timely turn, today I came across an excellent article with suggestions on how to do this using plugins or add ons that take very little tweaking on your part:

Remember as with any add-in application, please contact the plugin developer if you have any problems or need help with it. And if the plugin is free, plying the developer with money helps to get a response, LOL.

And as with any plugin you add, conflicts sometimes occur, so you need to be thoughtful not not every plugin will work on every site. (That was my 'buzz-kill' disclaimer)

Video – NextGen Gallery

I am very excited about making this video and I think that a LOT of you have wanted the ability to create galleries of your work on pages or in posts.

This video shows how to import and use the NextGen Gallery plugin for your WordPress site and use it immediately.

This plugin is capable of way more than I am showing, so I recommend that you get to know it better by going to the website provided by the plugin designer, meanwhile, see how easy NextGen gallery is to use right out of the box!
