Review Gadget

The review gadget appears to be a just a standard comment gadget with a rating.

How do ratings get collated into a top rated posts list etc? (similar to recommended posts). Just like the ratings gadget but site based scope without the comments included.

An interesting side effect appears when a page scoped gadget appears on the main blog page, it seems to pick up the ratings from the main page (I just installed this and got some old ratings)!!

Since it IS a comment box + ratings, the comment appears in both places. It appears correctly in the social bar comments, but how do I replace the standard socialbar comments box with the ratings one (if I wanted to)?

Questions and Answers

Note: The Blogger in draft editor handles javascript much better than the standard editor (no modifications necessary AND it fixes it for standard blogger by removing all the extra \n's from the code.. Nice!!


Skin properties (ie. endcap color)

Google Customer Support Poll

Maybe I'm a little frustrated with the lack of response, but what are your thoughts on Google customer support?

A user supported help forum works fine when all the questions can be answered within the customer base.. it creates a viral network of negative energy when they can't. People seem pretty feed up to me!!

Jake's BlurbBits Picasa Album

An in-blog "gadget" example..

BlurbBits for this Entry

Configured in Design mode (Click i for options).. This example includes "highlight photo" with link (to show in the RSS feed). Album Photos are NOT fetched or loaded until the photo strip or slide show option is selected (JIT loading).

Size must be specified because it also controls the photo size fetched via the Picasa/Flicker feed.
