Since it's some time ago that I have tried using some of the starter kits I'm wondering if you could perhaps post a screendump of the second issue you mention? I just need to see it to be certain that I get what you're writing right.
In regards to question 1 you need to make sure that the proper SMTP information have been setup in the web.config file in the <mailSettings> section where you need to specify the SMTP stuff.
In regards to question 3 you can see a list of poll packages here http://our.umbraco.org/search?q=poll&content=project, but be carefull to read the information of each package and check if they have been reported compatible with the version of umbraco you're using.
Otherwise I think it should be fairly easy to integrate from a 3rd party page like poll daddy - but let's see if some of the other packages are working first.
Hey guys! i'm new to umbraco too, and have the same problem!
that skin is the Umedia right? one of the default skin at the begining. I think this skin have some problems, but i already seen a few site using it with a poor kind of custom content. But i tried many things to edit this skin and don't have any progress... =[
Try go to Setting > Document Type > select the document type "Company News" > look for something like "child node allowed" > check the one that you want create inside this node type.
Getting starter kits to work
Hello. I'm new to Umbraco and am struggling to find answers to some questions. I would very much appreciate some help.
Hi Zoltar and welcome to our :)

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response Jan. It's much appreciated. Here's a screenshot of issue 2...
With issue 1. I got it to output the email to a folder... that'll do for now. :-)
I tried Poll but that didn't work at all... error on installation.
I tried multi-poll instead and did get it semi-working but not properly. From the instructions I couldn't figure out how to set the PreValue to 0 and, without this, it doesn't work and shows NaN. I also posted here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/multi-poll-module/multiple-poll-module/41178-Single-poll-not-working
I come from a WordPress background and am used to stuff working out of the box. Unfortunately Umbraco seems to throw up a problem at every turn. :-(
Thanks for your help.

I'm think i have found the solution.
