Apologies for the bad poll this morning

By , About.com GuideOctober 18, 2012

Follow me on:

This is a case where using a CMS can come back and bite you on the butt, especially when your CMS has issues.

The About.com polling tool does not have any preview. So even though I created the poll several days ago with the correct answers in the results, when I added it to the blog post, the results had been erased, and because there is no preview, I had no idea this was a problem until today, when the poll went live with no choices.

You should be able to vote in the poll now, and I've added it below. Of course, I'm in the same boat for this post as well, as the poll won't preview here either.

Here's how the preview looks (note, if you're seeing a 404 error for this image, that is because the About.com tools take FOR-E-VER to propagate, and I forgot! The image does show in the preview even though it's not live on the site. <sigh> Bad tool day today.):
