One our super-amazing engineers, Fawntia posted her first blog over here last night:
http://blog.hubpages.com/2008/09/the-new-poll-capsule/
She gives a great insider's look on the new Poll Capsule that she developed, how many people are using it and some of the more interesting Hubbers who have added it into their Hubbing arsenal.
Give it a read when you get a chance and let her know what you think!
Personally, I think that she's an amazing writer and I loved hearing some of the details with the Poll Capsule that even I didn't know about. Very cool.
Fawntia's blog was very interesting to read. I never knew the HubPages staff had a blog.
It's brand new, SweetiePie. This was the 2nd official post.
Looks like we have a great start, eh?
I like the use of the polls for the quiz. That was different. A good take on the capsule.

I have poll capsules in two of my hubs that don't seem to be working properly. They don't seem to give the user a chance to answer, but instead show what has already been answered. I'm not sure if there is a flag set once you've answered the question so that you can't answer it again,...

I have a poll capsule at the end of a recent Hub asking readers to evaluate its helpfulness. Dozens of readers but only two voters. I even asked people I know to evaluate the hub in this way, but apparently none have done so... OR might they have tried but been blocked? Might HubPages block...

I'm not sure if it's possible, but it would be neat to add a poll capsule. I know we have the bookmarking and sharing, but that is not the kind of poll or vote I am talking about.What I am referring to is (for example):I just created a hub on cosleeping. I would have loved to be able to add a poll...

It would be very nice if we could close a poll capsule in such a way that:A. No further votes can be made by visitors.B. The previous results are still displayed.C. A little sign says “Poll Closed.” or some such.
