I'm just gonna post here 'cause I don't know where else to put it.

I'm making a polling script and I'd like to get you guys [and gals] to look at these and let me know what you think?

http://atomicpixels.com/test/poll.php3?PollName=RightyLefty&Format=OtherOne
http://atomicpixels.com/test/poll.php3?PollName=GaminConsols&Format=OtherOne

There is an admin section, but I don't want anyone in there.
In the admin section, you can create/edit/delete/view and open/close polls.
You can also create/edit/delete/view 'formats' which allow you to insert HTML around different elements of the polls.
The script is written in PHP using a mySQL database.

QUESTIONS:
How would you format the polls? [vertical, horizontal, tables, other]
What features do you feel NEED to be included?
What features would you like to see be included?

Please don't be shy. I want to hear everything you can think of.

Hi Max,

I would use bordered tables (with colored cells or rows for easier reading and/or emphasis). Also, an "other" choice (ambidextrous, atari 1200) Finally, my preference is to have the results alongside the poll for 2 reasons: 1) seeing the results might tempt me to help sway them and thereby vote; and 2) I tend not to click when I don't have to (in part because I fear I'll encounter another ad banner)

Pretty good to begin with. They need some more work. Put tables around it.
