  4. How would I make this an item-specific rating? Meaning I have a list of items in my post that I want to give my readers a chance to say vote for each item separately? I've read that I need to do this through a database, but was wondering if this could be modified to fit my needs.

    Thanks

  5. I in addition to my buddies happened to be checking out the good secrets and techniques located on your web page and then instantly developed a terrible feeling I never thanked the web site owner for them. My young men happened to be as a result happy to study them and already have without a doubt been taking pleasure in these things. I appreciate you for turning out to be considerably considerate and also for finding this kind of useful issues most people are really needing to discover. My sincere regret for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.
