Advanced Poll - where do I start?

I feel quite silly asking this, but I don't know how to begin to create a poll. I have Advanced Poll installed, and so I see the scripts of the demos, but I dont' know what to do with them. Do I insert them on a new page that I've created with, say, Dreamweaver, or ....?
I'm sure once I begin, I'll figure out how to customize it, I just don't know how to begin

I guess what I'm after is some step-by-step instructions on how to use Advanced Poll. Is there such a thing? The help files I got with the install files dont' really tell me anything.

I have discovered the files on the server in the advancedpoll folder - duh! I hear you say.
Where do I enter the choices for the poll?
