From time to time, people will send me e-mails with technical questions. I like to share these questions on the blog so that others can contibute and benefit from them. Here is the first one…

First I am Fan!

Do you use Wordpress? If you use it: what rating plugin do you use?

Thank you
Dominik

Dominik,

Glad to hear that you like the blog. When you are plugging away at an article at 3:AM and once you post it, someone tears it apart, it is really easy to get frustrated and want to quit. It’s the regular readers, commenters, and e-mailers that make it all worthwhile.

Yes, I do use Wordpress for the blog. It was recommended to me and I have not regretted the decision.

As for the ratings plugin, I use WP-PostRatings by GaMerZ. I have found that it is probably one of the easiest rating systems to use out there.

GaMerZ also has a number of other Wordpress plugins including:

  • WP-DBManager - Manages your Wordpress database. Allows you to optimize database, backup database, restore database, delete backup database and run selected queries.
  • WP-EMail - Enable you to send your webblog entry to a friend.
  • WP-PageNavi - Adds a page navigation with paging elements to your WordPress.
  • WP-Polls - Adds an integrated poll system to your WordPress.
  • WP-PostViews - Enables you to display how many times a post had been viewed.
  • WP-Print - Displays a printable version of your WordPress weblog post.
  • WP-RelativeDate - Displays relative date alongside with your post/comments actual date.
  • WP-Stats - Display your WordPress statistics.
  • WP-UserOnline - Enable you to display how many users are online on your Wordpress with detailed statistics of where they are and who there are(Members/Guests/Search Bots).
  • WP-Wap - Browse your WordPress weblog entries on a Wap enabled mobile phone.

I highly recommend any of the plugins that GaMerZ creates!
