I added WP-Polls but it's not showing in the Plugins page; I added Democracy Polls and it shows on the Plugins page but not on the widgets page. Any help?
i think democracy polls has to be manually added to the sidebar by editing the sidebar.php file in your themes folder.
I use http://www.dpolls.com Quite easy to publish the polls. If you hit into problems, turn off wordpress' WYSIWYG
its located just outside the folder that you upload downloaded folder -- democracy widget <--- this need to be uploaded to plugins and activated. -- read me |--|>-- democracy upload folder |--|>-- uploaded files
