  1. Hi Ron,

    Thanks for the helpful post. I have used a handful of these experimentally when I was building my site (associated with my profile link), but I didn’t choose any of these. I went with Rating Widget instead. You may want to consider checking this out or adding it to your list.

    Happy blogging 🙂

    Cheers!
