I was looking for free online polling tools and I found the following, none of them perfect. Let me know if you know of any others.
1. pollhost.com. Good: you get to keep and edit your polls, lots of options. Bad: it leaves a huge whitespace in my blog entry.
2. blogpoll.com. Good: lots of options, best looking. Bad: it changes the background color of my blog, you can’t edit a poll once you’ve created it.
3. poll123.com. Bad: You can’t show the ongoing results to your readers.
4. blogpolling.com. Bad: You can’t show the ongoing results to your readers.
This was not an exhaustive study or evaluation as I was just looking for a few features such as easy to create, free (or very cheap) and show results in weblog or at least to weblog readers.
Would do some research and if find anything which you already don’t know then will let you know.
