How to add Blogger Poll Widget To Posts?

imageWith the interesting discovery of Custom blogger Navbars, its now time to add yet another embeddable widget into your blogger blogs. You have often seen me adding the poll results to the posts and I do it using the same Iframe technique we discussed yesterday. The Blogger poll widget results are stored on Google servers and even when you delete the Poll widget from your sidebar the results will still remain stored forever. What I often do is that once the polling is done, I remove the poll widget from the sidebar and then add it to a post and discuss the poll results.  See this poll results as an example,

Interesting? Now lets learn how to do that.

Copy The Poll Widget Code From your Source File

  1. Visit your Blog and press Ctrl + U
  2. Next press Ctrl + F and search for this,
http://www.google.com/reviews/polls
   3.   You will find a code that starts with iframe and ends with iframe, something like this,
<iframe allowtransparency='true' frameborder='0' height='180' name='poll-widget-1533663100889025859' src='http://www.google.com/reviews/polls/ display/-1533663100889025859/blogger_template/run_app?hideq=true&purl=http%3A%2F%2F www.mybloggertricks.com%2F' style='border:none; width:100%;'></iframe>

    4.   Simply copy that code and paste it wherever you want in your blog post!
    5.   That's it!
Once you have copied the code from your blog's source file then you can happily delete the poll widget from the sidebar by going to Blogger > Design > Page Elements
Hope you find it useful and easy. If you faced any difficulty just shoot me a comment. Peace out brothers! =)
