You may have noticed...

... stars! At the bottom of my posts! So you can give me feedback!

I noticed that Blogger have just made this feature available and I liked the look of it. However I've found a better one... with customisable colour and size and a widget which tells you which are your top posts (since no-one's rated me as I write this, it isn't showing up, but eventually you'll see it in my right sidebar as "Stuff you like").

Have a play! But remember that once you've rated a post, you can't change your mind or rate it again, unlike the official Blogger one.

  2. Anna, I tried to rate it as five star but only one star shone. When I clicked on the other four, nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?

  3. I'm not sure OC, I've just tried it and was able to rate 5 stars fine.

    Can you try on a different post, see if the same thing happens? I just clicked on the right-hand star and it worked.

  4. It worked for me too. What service is it? I'm using one, but this looks better.

  5. This one's from www.yellowturnip.com. I like that I could customise the colours and size and have a transparent background.

  6. I hadn't noticed this new feature - thanks for clue-ing me in! Perhaps I can figure out how to attach it to mine..

  7. It's easy Sayre, go to www.yellowturnip.com and click for the Blogger version.

    Then you can change the colour, size, etc to match your blog. And there is a button to "install widget". You'll just need to type in your blog address, and it will automatically install the rating system to each post, and add a "Top posts" thingy to your sidebar.
