Add Links to Poll Answer Options

Adding links to poll answer options is a snap—it’s a great way to provide additional information to participants before they vote or add a little fun into your polls. All you need to know is a little bit of HTML. Let’s walk through how to do it.

<a href="http://www.joyofbaking.com/ChocolateChipCookies.html" title="click for a recipe">Chocolate Chip</a>

We place this code right into our answer option field, like so:

And here’s our poll. Don’t forget to vote for your favorite cookie or add your own!
