The Poll Capsule
65Aligning Your Poll Capsule
If you align your Poll Capsule to the right of your Hub, you have two additional background options. To change your poll’s background, click edit after the poll has been compressed into a column within your Hub, and select the color of your choice. Once the poll is published, readers will be able to view the poll, peek at its results, and vote themselves.
How to Use the Poll Capsule on HubPages
The Poll Capsule gives you the opportunity to elicit feedback and engage with your audience.
To include a poll in your Hub:
- Click its icon and reposition it as desired.
- Click the edit button and add a subtitle if you like.
- Start by typing or pasting you question into the first text bar, then enter potential answers.
- To add additional choices, click the “Add another answer choice” button and another text bar will appear. If you added one option too many, you can remove it by clicking on the red “X” button. That said, you must have a minimum of two answers available.
- When you are finished entering information, click save.
Editing Your Poll Capsule: Be Careful!
Keep in mind that if you change a Poll Capsule after it has been published, all previous votes will be deleted. For this reason, it is best to check the “don’t display this capsule” button when saving until you are absolutely sure the capsule is ready to be shared with the public.
