Hi constance. You'll have a much higher likelyhood of an answer if you ask this in either the topic for this plugin, or at the source of the plugin.

Not much of an answer, but it's better than none!

Constance,
Right now none of that is possible. I would like to add them in my next version of the plugin, especially your first idea. I'm not sure when I'll get to it, but thanks for the ideas.

Thanks!

I look forward to the next version.

The info for the plug-in gives the following code for sorting the posts by the star rating in the side-bar.

<?php $Plugins->call_by_code( 'starrating', array('display' => 'toprated', 'limit' => 5 ) ); ?>

Where should I put this if I wanted this in the main body? (I'm using the Melbourne skin.)

That code won't work for the main body. I'll add that as a todo item for the next version of the plugin.

Bummer!
