Spice up your blog.

A few days ago I had posted on some tools that could be used to communicate with 'visitors' to one's blog. One of the things suggested was rating of posts, without having to go through the bother of commenting. Two blogs where I've seen a rating tool being used are:
Priablog and
Deepa's - Some Template Tips and Tricks - This blog has a most comprehensive coverage of the different things that one can use to spice up their blog. Here Deepa describes how to add the rating feature to posts.
As a test I've added the rating feature to just this post. I seem to have encountered a bug. So I am taking it off for the moment.

Now, I've put the rating feature on all the posts.
Deepa spent the better part of today afternoon helping me to do this, because it required a template upgrade. Thanks Deepa.
PS:Itchy, now you know who to go to if you want help regarding your blog widgets and layout.

I am removing the rating feature; nothing against it, just that I am not using it.

Thank you for all the appreciation..
One thing i learn't from blogosphere is .. if you have thew will to learn & do / adapt something.. you are sure to find people who would just take a walk with you along the way..
So next time.. someone drops a request for help.. donot hesitate to lend a hand...

@Deepa - I found this to be true in several instances. This happened even when I was putting together some links for a post and I got links from totally unknown persons through the blog.

To quote Coelho:
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
