    Huh but I don't see any of that on my wordpress. o.o Do I have to do it in a new post or something? Not the one I'm trying to put it into?

    I guess I just had to create an account on the site, and than just made a poll there and embeded it. Thank you!!

    Poll and newest 7sins chapter up all in one!
    The table of contents for this story is also going to get a facelift soon. Including a "rules for my challenge" page that I'm going to get set up. Though it's more like. What rules i'm using for my own story telling in this I suppose

    @CathyTea Wonderful! I had my final exam last week, so I'm actually not a student anymore - I'm a doctor now! It's so weird, I still can't wrap my head around that :lol:

    How are you? Do you have a new SimLit project?

    knowing cathtea yes. sometimes 2 or 3 . she sometimes gets 2or 3 but one gets executed while the others rest. til she can't stand it. lol.

    Ooo... we're talking about rain. It makes me happy. I find such peace and joy in rain. :)

    Also summer thunderstorms... maybe I'm crazy, but I'm looking forward to them, especially sitting on my porch, watching the lightning and watching it pour. That is if I'm home when it storms.

    A few weeks ago, I got soaked in the rain because we had flash flood like rains and I was in heels so I had to take my shoes off to walk through six inches of water in the parking lot at work. That was fun. But then I sat in my car and the radio played all sorts of songs with phrases about rain and floods and water gushing and flowing, and I had to laugh at the irony.

    I'm so excited about rain in the TS4 Seasons expansion!!!

    Okay, now I need some happy rain GIFs. *bounces off to find some*

    Hey everyone :)

    I was wondering, does anyone here have a career in writing?
    I've actually been thinking about changing careers, but I have no idea where to start. I know it sounds dumb.....I mean, I only write an insignificant SimLit.....it's not like it would ever get published lol. I just keep thinking to myself that I really enjoy writing and putting the screenshots together, I wonder if this could turn into a career?

    Okay, I need some help... I've seen people putting polls in their stories on WordPress for things like heir voting. ANd I have absolutely no idea how to do that and would really love to for a 7sins post I'm currently working on. How is it done? Is it something built into word press? Do I need to get a poll from another site like strawpoll?

    Hi, @Shadami ! Here's some info about WordPress and PollDaddy: https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/polls/

    I'm not completely sure that this functionality is available with free WordPress, but you can try!

    What I did was create my poll through PollDaddy, then I got the embed code and info from there and inserted it into a WordPress post.

    So you can try that, too!

    If you run into issues/questions, feel free to check back. I just sort of experimented around, but if it doesn't work for you through experimenting, check back, and I'll be happy to see about providing more specific instructions!

    I did mine from the admin section of my wordpress.

    Go the full website address of your website: E.g one of mine is : 'https://thepeopleofthelighttribestory.wordpress.com' then add '/wp-admin' onto the end. This is the admin dashboard. Highlight 'Feedback' in the sidebar and you should see a poll option. As @CathyTea mentioned you can make a polldaddy account and use that (not sure if I made mine separate so just do that). Then you should be able to add new polls. :) You can link them by going to your list and hovering on it, you should see the options 'Edit | Embed and Link |Close | Preview | Delete' Click Embed and link. This will take you to a menu like this. (The blocked out black square is where your email is btw that's the difference between the photo and what will show up for you.)

    I would go the one titled 'Short URL'. This can be used to link on the end of a post/chapter rather than making a new one. It's the direct link to it. :) Also works for linking to tumblr and here.

    Edit: Once you've had votes when you hover over the option in the polls menu (where all your polls are...) you now see..
    'Edit | Embed and Link |Close | Preview | Delete | Results' Obviously results is how you see what was voted for and close is to close the poll.

    My mom woke me up calling me....dad was taken to the VA by ambulance. Burning in his throat and slight short of breath. She told me EMT didn't think it is anything life threatening. Keeping her company now.

    Me too!! I'm planning on publishing on kindle in a week or so, combining my short story blogs, talking about 7th and 8th generation on Sims Mobile. Maybe that will work as a start???

    He just called. He's being released. Doctor says it's acid reflux. He wears one of those sleeping masks as well. Mom thinks it could be that. Maybe it needs to be cleaned.

    Wow! Now that is an achievement. XD I can't believe you actually risked it, given what happened the other day.

    @BlackUndecimber Thank you! I mean doctor as in medical doctor and yes, it is quite nice that I don't have to study anymore, I had enough of that these past years - even people on this forum had enough of it, since I whined about it here all the time :lol: (Sorry, guys!)

    @Shadami Thank you and nice to meet you! :smile:
    @CathyTea Wonderful! I had my final exam last week, so I'm actually not a student anymore - I'm a doctor now! It's so weird, I still can't wrap my head around that :lol:

    How are you? Do you have a new SimLit project?

    That is awesome @CharmingMaruska !! I want your Sim Selfie and make her a Dr. In my #BuildNewcrest Challenge: A Simself Legacy SimLit!

    Oh, what an honour, @LegacySims2017 ! My Simself is on the gallery, you can find her here . Feel free to use her :smile:

    @CathyTea @MadameLee Thank you so much. You can definitely say that. I first joined the forums before I had any actual clinical rounds in a hospital, so you really knew me since I was a "baby" - that's what we call pre-clinical students here.

    <3 I adore Singin' in the Rain. I always describe it as one of my favorite movies. What an amazing and talented cast! Sure, the story line is goofy and the movie makes fun of itself, but it's aware in that regard and it runs with it well. They simply don't make movies like this anymore. I grew up watching these kinds of musicals, and they still hold a dear place in my heart.

    P.S. Glad to hear your dad is okay. Thoughts and prayers for your family. :)
