I noticed on Newsgator they have this funky rating system that you can add to your own blog. Since the best use for this in Wordpress is as a plugin, I did just that.
A really simple plugin, this will put up the neat rating thingy after the time on each of your entries. Edit the plugin as you like to change the format of the output and/or where it gets displayed. In this case I put it after the time. The ratings for each post even show up in your edit.php list!
You can grab version 1.0.1 here (NOTE: Yes, I moved development to wp-plugins.org)

I was doing this manually, buy, the less I have to edit core WP files, the better.
I’d explain what it is, but the link does it better than I could.

Nice Job! This is much cleaner than the index.php mod I was doing!

If you want the code that Gatorize generates to validate, change the line that retrieves the Newsgator code to this:
print '‘;
Basically, just adding type=”text/javascript” will enable it to validate as XHTML transitional.

Ok, I fubared the code thing. Just ignore the printf part above and add the text/javascript thing right after the first
