Adv Poll and EE

I'm using advanced poll for a section on my expression engine run site. I wanted to know what am I doing incorrectly to continuously get this error
on the front page of the site? I have seen this error posted by someone else in the forum and I didn't have the same problem. All my pages are .php extensions, so what else could be wrong with the code I've used?

Hm does your host actually have PHP support?

Yes, my host def has php support. EE is written in php.

Does your site consist of normal pages or is it a CMS? I mean is it just normal HTML pages or is everything made from templates?

Yes, EE is a content management system. Everything is made from templates, but you are creating the template code. I've created the page using css and div tags. You can view the page www.onewordmag.com, if that will help

I think the problem is that you are putting the PHP required to use the poll into a template and the template just gets treated like a piece of text and is not passed to the PHP processor. One solution somebody came up with is to use an iframe where you want the poll and put the poll on a page of it's own which you point the iframe to.

If it's not too much trouble, can you point me to that forum post? I'm not the best at creating frames.

Where blah.htm is the page with the poll in it. Adjust the sizes as necessary/
