NaNoWriMo Auto Polls (an unofficial tool)
STATUS UPDATE
October 11, 2011: the polling tool needs to be updated for the new nanowrimo code base. Stay tuned...
Instructions
This is the home of the tool that automates the collection and summary results display of polling data in nanowrimo forums. For example:
To create a poll, make your post in one of the NaNoWriMo forums. Follow a format similar to this:
Instructions
Please answer the following question by submitting your choice(s) with the form
VOTE="place your selection here".
Question: put in your question here
- answer #1
- answer #2
- ... (etc)
<a href="http://polling.teiru.net"> <img src="http://polling.teiru.net/2011/graphspecs/your-IDENTIFIER.png"> </a>
Note that if you select multiple choices accepted below, each respondent can select more than one selection. If a respondent posts more than once, only the latest choice will be reflected.
To vote for multiple options, put more than one VOTE="option" in a post. E.g.,
VOTE="eating dinner" VOTE="running around with scissors" VOTE="lying down on the grass and gazing up at the stars"All three of these votes would be registered.
To completely erase your earlier vote in a subsequent post, just include the string CLEARVOTE in your post. Otherwise, to overwrite earlier votes, just vote again with your new choice.
Create a new poll
Note: fill out this form after you have completed your post; you can then go back if needed to edit your post if you missed anything
Finished with your poll?
Send NaNoMail to NewMexicoKid to let me know that your poll doesn't need to be refreshed anymore. The results image will remain in place forever.
