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

the browser by itself (See using Poll_It_SSI.cgi below)

# 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.
