how to add a pikk poll widget to your blog post
Adding a poll to your blog is a great way to engage your readers. With a Pikk Poll, you get the added benefit of being linked back from Pikk.com, so Pikk users and your readers are voting on the same poll. As your story gets more votes on your page, it ranks higher on Pikk, so Pikk readers are more likely to come to your blog as your story gains more visibility.
When you submit your story and use the Pikk poll, here's how it will appear on Pikk and on your blog post:
