The problem is that if I'm putting polls on every page of the blog,
then I have to change each URL in the urlconf to optionally include a
has_voted variable, right (since I'm returning people to their
originating page via a redirect, not via the POST request itself)?

Unless I'm going to store it in a cookie or in the database, in which
case it can be retrieved from anywhere, which I suppose is a better
idea anyway, so that it persists across page loads.

Ah, I see that you're using cookies and the DB for tracking that stuff
in your example.  I'll probably use a cookie for now since it's
simpler, and set up the function for my custom template tag to look
that up and return either the form or the results depending on whether
the user has voted.  That should work, right?

I'm always torn about the HTTP_REFERER server variable, because it's
convenient, but a lot of proxies block referrers, and AOL in particular
seems to mess with them.  But this blog is just an exercise anyway, so
in this case I don't think it matters too much. ;-)

Thanks again for your help!
