Post Reply? I like the one-click blog I have set up with DH, but would like to add a poll. I understand that if I had done a manual install, I could have had more flexibility. How can I get there from here. Do I have to delete the current blog, with posts & comments & lose them, just to be able to add a couple of simple things? I will appreciate a little walk-thru before I start trying things, being the newbie at this that I am.
