honestly... how hard can it be?

I'm not sure the coding part is necessarily your problem. The answer to "how hard can it be" comes down to the "how big is the feature set".

"So how hard can it be?" How do you want your ratings displayed? Numerically? Boring... Bar Chart? Better. JavaScript Sliders...Cool! You just went from way simple to way complex for one feature in less than a second.

As an example, one of the biggest problems you'll have is integrating an editor and deciding what capabilities (features) you'll want to provide your OPs. That may seem ridiculous right now...that's OK. I'll forgive you until you've gone through this.

Just consider this simple feature:

he said...she said

or this one

:-)

and the merry-go-round goes around and around and where it stops...

There are many pre-built capabilities that can be hacked and many of them have built in "voting" capabilities and rating features already. It may be wise to investigate one of those.

Or, jump on in and help Xeon build his!

We'll all help.
