ourlocality

I’m not sure that everyone knows that their posts when published to their ourlocality site are also reproduced over at : http://news.ourlocality.org

This news site contains a complete and searchable archive of all the historic articles ever published by you. We occasionally prune duplicate postings (we know who you are, so if you are reading this – please don’t publish the same content on different sites!). More rarely we redact / edit them (to correct typos, missing headlines, shove a read-more link in, that sort of thing etc).

Click on a news item title or the read more link and you will be propelled instantly to the publishers website, for more scintillating stuff.

We are always trying to improve, just like my report card used to say – ourlocality is very ‘capable but could so much better.’

Anyway, from today you can embed Polldaddy.com surveys (and polls) easily into any ourlocality hosted website.

You’ll need an account over at polldaddy.com but signup is free, after which you’ll be sailing as surveys and polls are really easy to create.

The free account gives you 10 questions and 200 responses per month, which for most community polls will be more than adequate. If you need a professional survey and 1000s of responses you can get yourself a pro account, though we’d recommend you get some advice on survey implementation before you go that far. ;)

Oh yeah, you can get 5 star rating (or nero thumbs up/down) to add to posts, pages and/or comments too.
