   I am just looking to get into Blogging, as a business activity, and I am looking at Google Blogger and WordPress. The problem is there are two specific capabilities I need/must have: 1) the ability to allow readers to download a PDF, counting the number of times it is downloaded, and 2) to conduct a simple poll/survey with a 1-5 ranking -- the respondents simply rate the object we are talking about.

   With Google's Blogger, it looks like I will have to have a separate web page for the downloads and the poll, but with WordPress and a couple of plug-ins, I can do it all in one place. Is that true?

   Let me know, and if you care to recommend plug-ins, that would be a bonus. (Either reply here or email me at garys.email@comcast.net.)

   Thanks,

   Gary
