I love your blog layout- very crisp, clean, and easy to navigate. I will get around to downloading some more of those plugins soon!

Since I just went through that exercise (and in doing so, learned that there are a lot of things that could be/should be implemented better in this theme) recently, I really don't want to undertake it again. The more I think about it, the more I am inclined to (a) go with a commercial theme or (b) write my own (or at least, heavily modify an existing, standards-compliant theme). The problem with (a) is committing $80 - 90 dollars to something I may not be able to tweak to my nit-picky preferences. The problem with (b) is that the Force is not strong with me, with regard to php/HTML/CSS. (Of course, that means a self-built theme would be very "by the book" and thus by definition, pretty much compliant. Well, I won't be doing anything in that regard before October, at any rate.

And I notice that the Ratings plugin requires more tweaking to even appear! (Of course, it took actually posting the article to see the rating option doesn't appear.) Excellent point, Aurdon.

I have never felt the urge to put up a "rate this post" plugin because I feel the # of comments I receive will be a good enough measure. I love plugins as well.
