New Feature...Maybe

I have added a new feature which I am not sure I like. It is a rating system at the end of each post. I only added it to the main page of my blog for now. You can see the new rating feature by looking at the bottom of all the posts on the front page of my blog. You will notice five stars with the words (no ratings yet) if no one has voted for that article yet. You can use your mouse to choose the star rating you feel the post deserves and when you do, if others have rated it as well, you can see the results for that post. What I don't know is if this rating system goes with the overall theme of the blog. Do I really want post ratings for announcements like this one? Also, I would prefer to use it for essay posts only. I am not good enough with PHP to code that feature, so for now the ratings would be added to every post. Lastly, I already have a feature like that in the "Polls" that I post in the sidebar to the right. Do I really want to duplicate such a feature? So here is what I decided to do. I am going to use the "Poll" to seek my readers opinion. Tell me what you think, do you think I should keep the rating feature? Should I remove it? Or does it even matter to you? Vote on your answer to see the results so far, and check back to see how the voting comes out. I will keep the poll open until 4:30pm Thursday (CST). - Sean
