Thanks so much for sharing your walk through. :)

I was getting frustrated just as you were trying to figure this out. Here's what to do, step-by-step:

1) Select POLLS
2) Select ADD NEW
3) Create your poll, select your design, and then select SAVE POLL on the upper-right corner.
4) On the left side, select POLLS and then select EDIT.
5) Mouse-over to the poll you want to use and select SHARE-EMBED.
6) Highlight and select everything in the WORDPRESS SHORTCODE field, including the open and close brackets.
7) On the left side, select APPEARANCE and then select WIDGETS.
8) Drag the TEXT widget to your sidebar on the right side of the screen.
9) Click the down arrow button on the TEXT widget.
10) Enter a name for your poll in the TITLE field.
11) In the box below it, copy the contents of step 6 above.
12) Select SAVE.
13) Refresh your site, and you should see your poll.

Hope this helps!!

"Send to Editor" shows up when you create a poll via the poll button of the post or page editor. When you create it via the poll button of the dashboard sidebar, there can be no "send to editor". You click "Share-Embed", copy the WordPress Shortcode, paste it in the html editor of a post or a page (or in a text widget).

But, what area of the Forum, can I openly discuss...say, get a forum topic going, to get a collective opinion on a certain ...well, a certain traffic tracing widget?

I have done it many times, though not lately...so,I can't say if there maybe an issue currently? Anyway, if you load it in the place that you want it to be seen, in the post, while using the HTML instead of the View Editing format it should show up immediately upon publishing.

I've read the support page about Polls. I didn't see any "Send to Editor" when I created the poll. I can't direct you to the post because I trashed it--Ive never hidden a post so I was afraid it would show (it did when I checked) without the poll, and make no sense. Any advice?

Link out as often as you can (my posts will have anywhere from four to twenty links!) and I deliberately choose smaller sites. I know technically it's not going to help my pagerank any, but those people follow those links back to the source and quite frequently either link to me or blogroll me. They are grateful. It pays off to support smaller bloggers.

I have read everything here and wanted to add somthing which is different, simple and highly effective. But this is counter intuitive. The more outgoing links you have in your blog the better. Outgoing links everywhere. But particularly in your posts themselves. The reason is that search engines love them. Pack those links with as much Google juice as you can manage. Ideally link internally to your own stuff. EG:

'Did you see my earlier article on WordPress Themes?'

You will notice that a very common search term is now in the link itself. Or:

'Earlier I wrote up How to Edit your CSS at WordPress dot com'

Needless to say your posts, and your links need to be relevant to your community of interest

You need to bear in minds that most themes have the post title already marked up with the H2 tag. And it is a link. So pack your post title with Goodness. EG

DEALING WITH FRACTIOUS CHILDREN IN PUBLIC. :)

Next up:

Post regularly. The more you post the more that the bots visit.

Just some ideas.

I think you can appreciate that if we all promoted our posts on this issue in this thread that the thread would be miles long. Moreover, it wouldn't be comprehensive. On the other hand a google search is more effective

Within sports blogs, there are 3 or 4 of the HUGE blogs that do daily news-links to other blogs... if you can land on one of them, it's good for a huge increase (sometimes a few thousand hits). I'm not sure if there are such for other themes/communities, but if there are, the occasional email to their "tips section" if you've written a good piece, may reap dividends.
