A couple weeks ago I enhanced my blog so that readers could rate blog entries. I even wrote an article with the requisite SQL queries and User Control code and markup on 4Guys: Creating a Content Reader. I decided to take a few minutes out of my day and display the five highest rated articles. If you visit my blog you'll see on the left-hand side, beneath the Post Categories list, is a Top Rated Entries list. It shows the five highest rated entries that have at least three votes, and uses partial page caching so that it only updates twice per hour.
While whipping out this little blog add-on only took a few minutes, I should have known better that I wouldn't be able to just write code without going hog wild and writing an entire article, which stretched that planned five minute break into an hour long break. In any event, you can learn more at my latest 4Guys article, Improving the Content Rater.
