New BlogWatcher change partially implemented

As there seemed to be some interest in my idea for "tagging" posts in BlogWatcher, I've begun the process of implementing it. Right now, in every post, you should see a graphic indicating the average rating that post has received from all subscribers. If nobody's rated it, then it defaults to neutral. You can also set your own rating.

There are five possible ratings for you to use:

  1. Terrible
  2. Bad
  3. Neutral
  4. Good
  5. Very good

Right now, changing the rating you give doesn't immediately change the displayed average rating, though I may put that functionality in. Oh, and one other thing to mention: I hired by daughter to do the graphic design work to create the rating indicator. So now she's a professional graphic artist. ;)
This is of fairly limited use right now, but the next step is to provide a means where you can see a list of posts which meet some criteria. Most likely, posts where the average rating is "Good" or better. So please go ahead and rate posts as you see them, so that there will be data available when the changes are in place.
