Is there a way to see the exact results of a tumblr poll (actual number, not the percentage?)

I've heard people say something about an API or something, but I'm very technophobic and tried to look up what that meant and couldn't understand it at all.

Could someone explain to a newbie? Doesn't have to be super detailed, just maybe a bit more than "use the API" as I don't even know how to get started with that, and tumblr's guide for their API makes it seem like it's for people who are trying to build an app on top of Tumblr?

(I am reasonably fluent in python (including web scraping with various python packages, but only for things I can read off the html of a page, and "number of votes" doesn't seem to be unless I'm misreading it), and have passing familiarity with javascript, but otherwise know Nothing about web programming)

Never mind I figured out how to do this! (At least one way, though I suspect it's not the best way. I did not use Tumblr's API; still not sure what that's about)

Here's how I did it for anyone else who might have this question (for Chrome and Firefox):

Hi! Yep, I’m still sort of around. I had to shut down the little freelance business website I was using to host some of the stuff on this blog because I couldn’t afford to keep it running anymore, and haven’t gotten around to fixing things again because I’ve been busy, unfortunately. It’s been a less than ideal year. ): I think some of the links in my header and footer are broken, and some of the images are missing? But all the themes and stuff should still be available! I haven’t forgotten about this blog, I promise--it’s on my to-do list for when I finally have the time to sit down and really spend an entire day going through everything. 

Thanks for letting me know, though!! I hope you’re having a good afternoon!!

I'm sorry if this is actually obvious, but when I type in the html editor, whenever I type on a line that there is already text for example in the middle of the sentence, all the text that's after it gets replaced by the text I'm typing. Is there a way to fix this, or do I just have to deal with it?

Sounds like you’ve bumped the “Insert” key on your keyboard! Try pressing it again to see if that fixes the problem. (:

For your "Monster, Monster" theme, right above the header, I keep seeing a " " /> " and I'm not sure what that means/if it's supposed to be there. Any ideas?

Oh, that’s my bad! I forgot to fix that error on the pastebin page. Head into your HTML editor and look for this:

{block:Description}       {/block:Description}

And change it to this:

{block:Description}      {/block:Description}

That should fix it!

Hi, I'm sorry to both, but the question page for Theme 43 is not there and I had a question. Every time I reblog a question type post that has been added on to and add on to it myself, the reblogged text is not there, only the original question and answer. Is there someway I can fix this in the code, like editing a line?

Huh! That’s weird--I don’t see anything wrong with the code? Maybe I’m not understanding your question, though. Could you submit a picture of what’s going on? Sorry!

Hi - i couldn't help but notice how much i loved your writers corner blog theme and I preferred the dark theme, though when i pasted the html code into the edit html section - it came up with the lighter theme. How could I make it so that it's the darker theme and find the right code for it please?? thank you very much

Hi! I’m glad you like the theme! That question has been answered a couple of times before in the theme 38 tag on my FAQ, here and here! I think tumblr has made some changes to the theme editor since then, though, so if anything doesn’t make sense let me know. Have a great day!
