I’ve spent an interesting hour or so adding the democracy poll plug-in to the Displays blog. I couldn’t get it working at all despite several attempts so in despair I read the ‘read me’ html.
Haha - simple when you know how! I’d been uploading the whole zip but for this plug-in you have to only upload the folder ‘democracy’ not the whole thing. This is because the zip has a folder called ‘democracy2.0′ Inside that there’s the actual ‘democracy’ folder that you want & also a sidebar widget php file which need to go in widgets not plug-ins. I finally made a new folder in plug-ins for the files to go in . Called it ‘democracy ‘ and then uploaded the files in a batch. Perhaps there was an easier way to do it but it worked anyway 
It will be easy next time, so I’ll add one to this blog next. I’m learning all the time with this stuff. It’s all good
Now where’s that plug-in that autolinks?
