these files for customization after you have the Poll It script running)

2) Now view the Poll It.cgi file in your browser, NOT THE Poll_It_SSI_v2.0.cgi file, this file is to be used w/ SSI (Server Side Includes), not through the browser by itself (See using Poll_It_SSI.cgi below)

You should now get an output from the poll.cgi script in your
browser.

Now Visit: poll.cgi?load=login in your browser to start creating you
online polls.

Using Poll_It_SSI.cgi within a HTML Page:

The filename packaged w/ this script named 'Poll_It_SSI_v2.0.cgi'
is the CGI Script used w/ SSI (Server Side Includes) to import
your poll on an existing web page.

To use SSI within HTML files you must have
an *.shtml extension rather than *.html on your pages. This allows
you to execute a command to include a CGI Output in your html file.

Now to input the Poll_It_SSI_v2.0.cgi script into an HTML page, use this
code (After finding out what you need to use for SSI calls from the
above explanation):

<!--#exec cgi="/pollit/Poll_It_SSI_v2.0.cgi" -->

The above tag will look for the *.cgi file at the location specified
& if there will output your current poll running into your web page.
