Creating BalfBlog polls

Today I finished the backend of BalfBlog polls. You can now make polls straight from the dashboard.

It's easy enough to create polls from the BalfBlog dashboard, but it is my intention to make it even easier in the future. 

For now, you can simply insert the information at the end of a post in the Poll section. Options should be one per line and should not contain the new line character. Polls will then be generated automatically.

As well as this, I am working to change the system in which users who do not have .htaccess or web.config support (Apache or IIS servers) would utilise the system.What this means is that instead of accessing posts through /posts/post-name you would access the post through some URL parameters like ?nme=post-name. This will make it more flexible but it is not the only way in which these users will be able to access the pages. I will be trying it out on my own IIS web server soon and will keep everyone up to date on this.
