The Surveys WordPress plugin<\/a> lets you add surveys to your blog<\/strong>. You can let the visitors take surveys and see the result from the admin side<\/strong>. The user who take the survey can enter their details at the end of the survey – or leave it as an anonymous result.<\/p>\n If you are new to this blog, this is the Plugin Week. I am going to release one wordpress plugin each day, every day for one week<\/strong>(ie. Monday to Friday). Each day you will get a new plugin by me. This is the fourth plugin in this series. The earlier ones were…<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> Surveys<\/a> is a beta plugin(as are most of the plugins released in the Plugin Week) – so watch out for bugs. And trust me, there will be a lot of them.<\/p>\n First, Download<\/a>, install and activate<\/strong> the Surveys plugin. Then go to Manage > Surveys<\/strong> section to create new surveys – or edit existing ones. After creating a survey insert the HTML comment [SURVEYS 1] into a post<\/strong>. Here, the 1 should be the ID of the survey you want to insert into that post.<\/p>\n The client side of the plugin<\/strong> will look something like this – your visitors will see this part…<\/p>\n You can see the result of the survey from the admin side<\/strong> – there are two ways to see the data…<\/p>\n This will show the results each question by aggregating all the data so far. This will look like a poll result. This mode is useful to make decisions – you can immediately see the most favored answers for each question.<\/p>\n You can also view all the answers provided by each visitor one by one. This mode has its uses as well.<\/p>\n I have set up a demo for Surveys<\/a> over at BinnyVA WordPress demo blog<\/a>. Take a look.<\/p>\n If you have any suggestions or notice any problems with the plugin, post it in the Surveys forum<\/a>. I’ll take a look at it – as soon as the Plugin Week is over – I am way too busy right now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Next plugin – will be released tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
