Yes, yes I finally got around to releasing my plugin that I use to add hearts and stars to my posts ala Binary Bonsai.

It is fairly well documented and easy to add to your site, take it for a drive and let me know what you think, the next version will include user rating, and a function to list your top-rated articles.

You can grab Rate-it! from wp-plugins.org, and soon from an archive on this site... somewhere.  Stay tuned.

Oh and if you are having problems with the unicode HTML entities you can change the icons to whatever you want by finding $heart and $star at under the function rating_icon (3rd function in cjd_rate_it.php) if you want to use images just change the HTML entity code to the path of your image:

$heart = '';

That's all for now.
