Man, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Anyways, I’ve been playing around with changing one of my Wordpress sites’ themes using the Theme Test Drive plugin and I like one of the most popular themes I found, iNove. I currently have ratings on this particular site (I use the WP-PostRatings plugin). I think the plugin already uses FamFamFam icons for the stars, but I want to use blue ones to match the comment icons in the iNove PostInfo section. Here’s a screenshot of how the ratings stars will look with the text and comment icon:

Here’s how to use these blue ratings stars in your blog:

1. Install the WP-PostRatings plugin and set it up in your blog (activate it, put the php in your posts, etc).

2. Download this zip file, extract it, and place the stars_blue folder in your blog’s wp-content/plugins/postratings/images directory.

3. Go to the Ratings tab and select the Ratings Options page. Then select the stars_blue radio button. Double-check how it will look by hitting “Update ‘Individual Rating Text/Value’ Display” and then hit Update Options to save.

The yellow is the color that will appear when a user is rating a post while the blue indicates the current cumulative rating of the post.
