Thumb Up Rating Widget For Blogger

This quick post is all about Thumb Up and Thumb Down rating widget for Blogger, it was developed by JS-Kit. This rating widget comes with counts, so whenever a visitor clicks on this rating widget the counts will be automatically incremented. It also shows four tabs which displays the likes made by the visitors, shows most popular posts and also displays stats of the each post under the Hot/Top tabs. It really seems to me very interesting and I would suggest you'll to add this rating widget to your each blog post and increase post popularity.

I forgot to say that this option must be activated "Expand Widget Templates" when you edited the html.
