Check out my other post HERE to read more about the Kindle and find links to some great resources. However, one of the things that I’m not overwhelmed with is the selection [...]

The rating plugin that I’ve used on my site is provided by GD Star Rating (link HERE). It’s a powerful, free plugin for wordpress that “allows you to set up an advanced rating and review system for post and comments in your blog using single, multi and thumbs ratings.” More information is available on the [...]
