How do we rate? Help improve blog and comments by clicking stars

Added a new feature today. Display a blog entry and you’ll see five stars.  If you think an entry is tasteless, dumb or worthless — click Weak.  If it moves you, makes you laugh out loud or blows you away, check Classic.  Between these extremes are OK, good and great. Same for comments.  When you use these WordPress ratings, a hit counter totes up the total “votes” cast and the average is displayed.  I have no idea who is rating what. It’s all anonymous. But the zeitgeist has a say in which entries and comments are popular, so it’s a way of telling me what kinds of blog entries you like most. Eventually, I’ll add a “Top-Rated” list, which allows you to go straight to the most popular blog entries and comments. So have fun clicking stars!  Thanks for your indulgence.
