Could you cook a simple cake?

[jack]

In the spirit of scientific enquiry:

I make a cake every month or more often
I make a cake a couple of times a year
I've occasionally made a cake
I learnt when I was younger, but couldn't remember how now
My parents (or similar) taught me.
I was taught at school.
I was supposedly taught at school, but it didn't really help
I said I could, but actually they don't turn out very well
Brown cow
Lemons

I take it the TST logo at the bottom is some cunning thing that allows you to do pollage with a basic account? Do tell...

It's a horrible hack :) That is, I don't mind paying LJ to thank them for the utility they provided. But I feel resentful if anyone implies I should pay simply to get a poll script, when I can write one in about half an hour, so I did :)

It has the flaws that it can't tell if you're logged in to livejournal, and that there is no pretty graphical results yet. It has the advantage that the poll is completely customisable (and html form element is ok) and doesn't suffer from lots of arbitrary restrictions like not being able to edit it later.

Anyone else can use it as easily as I can and are free to if they want. Just use the code in your own journal:

<form action="http://semichrome.net/~jack/poll/submit.php" method="post"> <input type=hidden name=pollname value=NAMEOFPOLL>

<input type=checkbox name="TICKYBOXNAME"> TICKY BOX CAPTION
<input type=checkbox name="TICKYBOXNAME"> TICKY BOX CAPTION
<input type=checkbox name="TICKYBOXNAME"> TICKY BOX CAPTION

<input ... >

Change the uppercase text to whatever you want, and the output will be dumped in a text file at http://semichrome.net/~jack/poll/NAMEOFPOLL.txt :)
