To create a poll...

This is what you need to do :)

I'm assuming you guys know how to login to the account already :P

At the Dashboard, select Layout~

Then scroll to Add Gadget and left click~

A new window should pop-up with a list of options... go down to Poll and left click on it.

Another new window will pop-up... there'll be come empty spaces there, fill in the blanks! (try setting your own date.. I tried it with the default date they gave and for some reason it didn't work lol) Click Save when you're done :)

Now.. the Poll will appear as shown, if you want to reposition it... Left click and drag... and drop at the position you think is most suitable (a few suggestions are shown below)~ (the position they'll use will turn white)

And now you know how to create a poll :)

Oh.. do remember to Save (Blogger doesn't always do it for you) and then View Blog to check how it turned out ^^

For the non-bloggers~

Here's a few instructions for those of us who don't blog :)

First... click on the Sign In link at the top right corner of our blog~

Then.. enter our username and password... if you don't have it.. ask for it from somebody :) Sign in~

You should now be at the Dashboard... there's an option called 'New Post' click on it~

Next up is the blog page... there's a place called 'Title' (enter the title here...) 

There's two modes (1)... 'Compose' and 'Edit HTML'... 'Edit HTML' is less problematic in my experience... but its also a bit more difficult to use... (use this only to move pictures around)... So make sure you select 'Compose' (under compose mode.. its also easier to change size and colour of fonts and what not...) 

Then there's the big empty space in the middle for you to type your post (2) :) 

And.. when you're done... click on 'Publish Post' (3)~

To add images... click on the button called 'Add Pictures'~

A window will pop-up... choose 'Choose Files'~

A new window will then pop-up again... Go find the file... and choose it... then press 'Open'...

If you want to add more files... select 'Add another picture' a new link should pop-up underneath the previous picture... rinse and repeat~

Hopefully this helps! :)
