There must be voting widgets for wordpress and blogger websites , if you google it you will get it easily for the voting scripts .
You can have one like this forum !
I Think he do not need the voting widget(wordpress) which you are suggesting to him as you can read his reply to the first person.
The best way is using wordpress as cms and using totalpoll pro voting script as plugin and its simple, and powerful friendly.
You get easily indexed in google, and helps in ranking and it is content friendly.
I do not need that script but I want a unique voting script with unique features and unique design and I want to install that on my own server do not want wordpress system for that polling site.
I will suggest that these type of widget are more favorable by much of the companies if he do not find one then he have to use google or wordpress.
