   I am making a custom home page or portal and it's going to be integrated with wordpress, vbulletin, and other custom things that I have created myself in PHP.

   I want to add the wp-polls widget to a sidebar on the main page, it's displayed on my blog sidebar but I want to add it to my main page with full functionality.

   Just adding the widget to my sidebar would work right? If so, I would need code for displaying one widget.

   Register a second sidebar widget, then call the custom sidebar...

   Firstly register another dynamic sidebar..
   

   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
   	register_sidebar(array(
   	'name' => 'Somename',
           'before_widget' => '',
           'after_widget' => '',
           'before_title' => '<h2>',
           'after_title' => '</h2>',
       ));

   Then call it where you want it...
   dynamic_sidebar('Somename');

   You can then just add widget to that new sidebar via admin.....
