Go Vote for us...please

Hi All,

Killerstartups.com has reviewed us here
There is a voting system in place there so the more votes we get the better ;)

Rate my Blog

First we had rate my post...now...

Rate my blog! with avatars and there is no special .dll or installation just cut and paste the code into your blog template then you are good to go :)

The widget can be customized via CSS so you could do something like this...

#Blogarate_RateMyBlog
{
margin: 5px auto;
padding: 2px;
background: #ddd;
color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #000;
}


The header text in this case "Rate My Blog!" sits outside the widget giving you control over the text.
Unlike the post rating widget your readers will need a www.blogarate.com account to vote. Which makes sense right!
Because without an account their avatar will not be displayed and link back to their account.

How do you get it? Login go to the accounts page and click the widgets tab.
There you will find all the blogarate widgets in one location.

Enjoy :)

Automated Email Alerts

We've just released an beta version of Blogarate Alerts.
You can now set an alert on a post so that when someone rates a post you saved an alert for we send you an email.

You can save an alert for every new vote or when a post receives more than a certain number of vote...say more then 5 or 20 for example.



Check em out and tell us how you feel about them.
There is also an area to manage your alerts in the account sections.

New User fields

Thanks Meg for your suggestion :)

Remember if you have any suggestions use the Suggestion Box

Non-Avatar Widget Poll

Hi All,

In order to gauge your feelings on the avatars in the rating widget.
We have setup this poll. Please go ahead and cast your vote!
