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?
July 22, 2009 at 5:03 pm
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.
