Ratings in Google search results
Back in may, Google announced the new feature for the search engine, called Rich Snippets. Using microformat or RDF you can add pieces of code that will Google find and use with search results. So, I decided to add support for rich snippets for both reviews and ratings.

T2: Templates System
Finally, new templates system that will be used for all GD Star Rating renderings is ready. At this point not all rendering is done using T2, but it will be soon, because it requires a lot of testing and tweaking. At this point standard rating for posts and comments are converted to T2 system. Next will follow all custom function, RSS feed render and multi ratings. All that will be done in the next 2 or 3 releases.

There a hundreds and even thousands plugins for WordPress available for free, and that’s one of the truly great things about WordPress. But, only a fraction of that number is actually supported by the authors. And there is a good reason why is that.
