Your Guide to Recreating Elements of the Notio Demo for Joomla
Introduction
The Polldaddy Voting particle enables you to display polls created using the Polldaddy service. This particle incorporates Polldaddy's features in a way that seamlessly matches the look of Notio.
In order to use this particle, you will need to create a Polldaddy account. There are Free accounts available, but there are also premium features made possible at its Pro and Corporate account levels.
Here are the topics covered in this guide:

Polldaddy Setup
Setting up a poll in Polldaddy is simple. First, you'll need to sign up for the service, and you can do this with a WordPress.com account or sign up with via Polldaddy.com.
Once you have signed in, you can start setting up a poll by clicking the blue Create a New button and selecting Poll.
Here, you can create your poll question and options you'd like to give your visitors to choose from. There are also advanced options to help you refine how your poll behaves. You can even select options to prevent repeat voting, allow comments, and more.
You can then select your poll's style options. This is largely overridden by Notio so that your poll matches the rest of your theme.
Once you have saved these settings you'll receive scripts like this one:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://static.polldaddy.com/p/1234567.js"></script>
<noscript><a href="http://polldaddy.com/poll/1234567/">Test Poll</a></noscript>
The number (represented by 1234567 in our example) is the Poll ID. Insert this number in the Poll ID field of the particle.
