What happens after I add a poll to my website and a user votes?

How do I manage polls that I've created?

You can close, re-open, extend, or even delete (if no one has voted on it yet) your poll. To do this, click on the "My Polls" menu item. This will give you a list of polls that you have created.

How do I edit polls that I've created?

You can edit polls that you've created in the same manner that you manage your polls: by going to your "My Polls" page and clicking on the poll's "more info" link. On the poll's detail page, and in the poll's status box, you will see an icon and link which will allow you to edit your poll. You should note, if you change any property which influences how a user votes, your poll's votes will be reset back to zero.

I'm at my poll's detail page, what does "View", "Page Views", "External Views", "Url Clicks" mean?

"Views" refers to the number of times your poll has appeared in either browse/search results, detail pages, or on an external site. "Page Views" is the number of times your poll's detail page has been viewed. "External Views" is the number of times your poll has appeared on external websites, blogs, etc. "Url Clicks" is the number of times someone has clicked on the url that you provided, if you provided one.
