(Very) Newbie Help

I'm an HTML/PHP novice here trying to set up a poll. I've searched everywhere for some kind of instructions on how to go about getting up and running but haven't had any luck.

My first question is what code I have to put in the html page to make it display the poll. Secondly, what is the difference between the textfile and db directories? What do I put (and where do I put it) in my public_html directory? And finally, how I go about personalizing it all...

If it matters, all the files are hosted remotely by my provider, so I have to upload new files to their computer after each modification..

If you read the readme file located in either the DB or textfile section it will get you going. Basically upload everything to your server. Change your config file and add the correct password, username, and DB name. Then go to your webbrower and run the install.php file. Once it is setup you can go to the admin folder, admin/index.php, and set everything up from there. Once you have created a poll if you click on the view all polls button, at the end of each poll will be some icons. Click on the one that looks like a text file, and that is the code to insert to run the poll on your webpage. If you want it random, or the newest one, click on the help book, and it will show you how to there.
