Description
This is a very simple and lightweight Plugin for rating authors by visitors.
It allows the visitors to rate an author of a post, if they like any. On installation Average rating stars, “Want to ‘Rate this Author?” button and list of approved visitors(who viewed that author) is shown up automatically.
