Inserting Widgets
-
I’m trying to add 2 things to the sidebar of my homepage: a poll and a quote of the day widget. The forums said to go to dashboard and a link to PollDaddy is right under feedback but I can find neither place (dashboard -unless that is the blue one that just has ‘stats, personalize, and configuration’ but if that’s the place I don’t see feedback anywhere.)
I would also like to add a ‘quote of the day’ as a widget, but I don’t know where to add that.
Thanks for any help!
My website is: https://scsdela.wordpress.com/ -
For polls on wordpress.COm hosted blogs see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/polls/
We have code restrictions https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ for security reasons on wordpress.com blogs. A quote of the day widget is Javascript and we cannot use it.

You can create your own widget using a text widget and update it daily. See here https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

I went to that poll forum already, but I don’t see any ‘feedback’ section on the dashboard – at least not the dashboard that I see (the blue one, not the black one.)
Thank you for explaining the Quote of the Day situation – that’s too bad :( -
Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.
You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and navigate to Feedback > Polls

But I am the administrator – I created the site. How do I know if I’m logged in as the admin? I’m sorry for being slow – I’m new to wordpress. Thank you for your patience!

It says I’m signed in; I just don’t see a button or link anywhere to go to that site you sent. But thank you for sending the link! I just wish there was an easy way to access it.
