How do I activate the Democracy plugin for my blog?

The following article explains how to active the Democracy plugin for your blog. The Democracy plugin allows you to enter a poll on your website. This plugin is first activated and then code is added into your theme to display the poll. If you change the theme of your blog, you will need to re-enter the code for the poll.

Note: This requires you to modify the PHP code of the template. If you are not familiar with PHP you can contact us and we can add this for you.

1. Activate the Democracy plugin using our plugin activation article found here.
