If you're looking at the new layout/template, you can see the "star rating" for each post now available as we enjoy each other's company.
Now, we all know that every post on this blog is a 5-Star post by common internet standards. DJP can write a 5-Star post if he was typing in asian characters with his feet on the topic of what he had for lunch, by the common internet standard; Phil has forgotten posts he never made which, but the standard of the average blog, would be 5+ stars. I am fortunate to usually contribute adequately.HOWEVER, that said, I have two favors to ask of you groupies:
1. Try hard to rate the posts on the PYRO scale and not on the scale of, "well, compared to Hugh Hewitt or Perez Hilton, that post's like a 13.4 on a scale of 5". So for example, this post is probably a 2 or a 3 -- informative, mildly amusing, but it didn't rock your world. Rate it appropriately
2. When you have time, use the archive to find your favorite posts and rate them as well. I realize that we have over 2000 posts to pick from, but you probably have a handful of posts you really, really liked. Rate those.
Both of these requests are important because, eventually, there will be a "highest rated posts" or "most popular posts" widget for Blogger, and what a great resource that would be for the passers-by and the n00bs -- if you astute readers already rated the best of the best of the best and they showed up in the sidebar.
Just sayin': help a brother out.

What about going back into the archives and rating the posts we didn't like? Wouldn't that be considered transparent, authentic, real, and all that rot?
Just sayin'...
I wish there was a way to rate the comment threads too. Sometimes those are even better than the posts.
Sometimes. :)
Rate the total package.
I think ratings are overrated.
