LiveJournal Polls!

1. You'll need the GreaseMonkey add-on for Firefox, which you should probably have installed anyway.


2. Download/install the script here. (Or, you can read about it here.)


3. Once you install it, there'll be a new button in the HTML view when you post on LiveJournal called "Add Poll." Click on it.


4. You can now add any number of questions and any number of options for each question. Plus, you can make your options appear as either check-boxes or radio buttons.


5. When you're done, click on "Submit."


6. A bunch of HTML will get pasted into your post. It contains the poll you just created and the results of it.

Dear madam or sir,

I found a 26th Novel Update in my box of cereal, which both surprised and disgusted me.

When I contacted your customer service at http://nano2009.omer.bar-or.org/read/2009/11/26, they were nothing but rude to me.

I demand retribution. I demand justice. I demand http://nano2009.omer.bar-or.org/read

NOTE: I will be unable to post anything on Nov. 30, as I am implicated in events transpiring on Nov. 23 that were entirely not my doing but prohibit me from using any posting device on Nov. 30, but I will be happy to post any responses re: retribution on Dec. 1 or thereafter.
