Post/page ratings and iPhone support

This morning I installed two plugins that will make reading this blog even more enjoyable!

  • WP-PostRatings
    You’ve probably already noticed the small star icons below the post titles. You can now rate posts from zero to five stars. I hope I will be able to implement a “highest rated post” widget soon. Stay tuned and please rate my posts.
  • WPtouch
    WPtouch is a plugin that applies a special theme to the blog, when viewed by an iPhone or iPod touch. This greatly decreases load times when accessing the blog. You can still comment on articles and view all the content but WPtouch is not compatible with the ratings plugin, so you can’t rate posts from your iPhone. But there’s a link that allows you to switch to the “Normal View” showing the standard theme again.
If you encounter any problems with these plugins, please contact me via the contact form on the “About” page or use the comments below.
UPDATE: The “Highest Rated” widget is now working, showing the 5 highest rated posts.
