Stan, the rating system comes as part of a package with the WordPress software, and it’s used as another form of interactivity so that readers can approve a post without having to go so far as to write a comment: that way the most approved posts can be posted in a box like the Editor’s Favorites at right, so readers can have a quick way of seeing what other readers think are the most interesting posts.
I use the same system on the NYTimes website all the time: it’s such a big site and I have so little time to trawl through it, that I often scan the “most emailed” box to see what other people think is good and get to some great pieces that way. It’s yet another way that readers are able to make choices and affect content in ways that in older technology only editors could do.

Great…It’s good to have a blog. However, Can you explain the need for the rating system. Every comment or contribution should be valued if it pasts your censorship.
