is there also a plugin to install this on self-hosted WordPress blogs?
-
I’m told it’s in the works at the moment and shouldn’t be too much longer
-
For self-hosted WP blogs try the plugin: GD Star Rating
-
-
GD-starrating is the best one for self-hosted WordPress
-
I hope so. It sounds pretty cool.

Great tool, let´s wait the plug-in for self hosted WordPress blogs.
-
Sounds great! Looking forward to using it soon.
-
Would be nice with more options as to where they appear and how they appear(centered, left, right etc.)
But overall a great addition and am looking foreward to more user feedback 🙂
-
If you click on “advanced options” after activating the ratings, you’ll see some options to change alignment, color etc.

Has anyone got this working with P2 theme?
-
I can’t wait to see this as a plugin I hope it works with p2 cause thats what I’m using on my self hosted blog. I think that gd-star rating is way too complex.

Hello,
Being new to the wordpress function, I tentatively think that this is a great idea if only for the fact that ordinary folks get to voice their opinion via this voting scheme. I don’t think it gets any better in terms of a democratic voice.
-
Except private blogs are not democratic.
It’s more of a tool for the blog owner to know what’s liked better and what’s liked less.

I was kind of hoping that the user’s rating of a post would displayed in their comment and then show an aggregate total below the post itself.
-
If a post has been rated, then before the mouseover to rate it yourself, it will show the average rating.

I hope so. It sounds pretty cool.
