RateMyStuff WordPress Plug-In / Review

This is an exceptional plug-in. If you would like the ability to give star ratings to your post reviews, then this is what i consider the best choice. There are other plug-ins with more elaborate options and much more elaborate installation instructions; but this is beautiful right out of the box.

You simply download, unzip, ftp into your plug-ins folder, and activate. You then can either create a key or drop in a tag into the post with the number of stars you want. I have also utilized it with the great little plug-in called "Add Quicktags" This second plug-in allows you to create new quicktags above the text area of your write post or edit post screen. I added quicktags for 1 star, two star, three stars, etc.. So i simply click one of these to rate something and where ever the curser is in the text area is where the stars appear. Nifty!

You can change the image of the stars to whatever you want, and it already is wrapped in a div so you can style to fit your site any way you like. The instructions are very well written and complete, and includes some ideas for modifications. The couple who wrote this doesn't have any contact info or links; nor do they have comments turned on; but its fairly simple code to work with and should be easy to figure out.

You can get great little plug-in @ DeadCan'tRant

Historical Motorsports Footage:Pikes Peak Record Setting

This award winning short film documents Ari Vatanen's record-breaking run at the 1988 annual Pike's Peak Hill Climb Event in Colorado. The film was created by Jean Louis Mourey and captures Vatanen climbing Pike's Peak in a four wheel drive, four wheel steer Peugeot 405 T16. Watch the world famous rally legend rip through hairpins and glide past sheer cliffs at 14,000 foot elevation from cameras inside, in front, underneath and above the car. This is by far some of the most spectacular and nerve bending race car footage ever recorded. The film has since become one of the most watched and talked about car films ever, right up there with the French cult classic "Rendezvous".

It was later found he had to go to the bathroom…………just kiddin'

My First Odeo Podcast !

Okay, so I'm a sloowww adopter of things. But between work and personal life with my son, I really am backlogged on some things. This whole Odeo thing is really cool. I made my first podcast through Odeo from my cellphone while standing on a busy street corner. Far out !!

So now I can report live on events and places as the action is happening, much faster than I could type it up and upload. This is really cool; and will be even more so when I figure out how to have my cast post to my WordPress website here.

So, stay tuned and check back; and in the mean time hop over to Odeo and check it out yourself

Peace!
