You can hand code it if you want and just save the file as home.html in your templates directory. You're not obligated to put any LinksSQL tags on your page... but the point is, you CAN! In other words, making it part of LinksSQL does not prevent you from putting whatever you want on your page, it only gives you more flexibility.

Also, for a LinksSQL poll system, this thread may be useful for ideas.

And Paul, I was not aware that assigning the build directory to html root was feasible. In fact, I think I read somewhere here a few months ago where someone was trying to do that and was having some sort of difficutlies getting everything to work right... I could be mistaken though, I don't remember the specifics.
