My friend John was looking for a poll plugin for WordPress. I told him that I thought that I’d seen one somewhere. Well, I DID and its reasonably functional. I decided to see if it actually worked and was successful in getting it installed quite quickly. Look to the right :) I was getting php errors, though, when I posted. Seems that the cookie that it sets so it remembers you already voted wouldn’t set properly. If anyone else comes across this problem with an error message starting with

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at

then you probably don’t have an .htaccess file in your WordPress root. Put one there with this line in it:

PHP_FLAG output_buffering on

That should fix the problem. If not, google is your friend ;)

    Just one thing I dislike about it. One visitor can make multiple votes. It would be nice that if the same poll was up when I visited again that it would just show the results and not give me the ability to vote on the same poll again.
    Like the one on them there Torr*cough*ent sites.
