Certainly works well for my needs

  • I wanted something fairly simple, and this is it. It installed easily, functions well with the current WordPress, and was updated just last night. The interface is unobtrusive, and the reviews and the information they contain are well laid out on the final post page.

    I have a short wish list:
    1) I wish it had a user-configurable review category. A lot of what I’ll be reviewing (websites, crafts patterns, etc.) doesn’t fit with the provided categories and is getting dumped into “other.”
    2) I wish that bright-blue stripe could be toned down, replaced with a different color, or even user-configurable. I haven’t delved into the stylesheet yet.
    3) There is a small, faint, but clearly present “missing image” link within the “summary” block. It leads to the author’s website. I wish it would Go Away.

    Still, on the whole, this is a simple and clean way to do what I want to do–write reviews. I’ll go with five stars because I have no idea how complex my wish list might be.

    I’m answering myself. Just found the color configuration options and toned it down to a nice gray, so strike off my wish #2.

    Thanks for the review and for the “wishlist”. The plugin is still in development so I’ll be sure to keep those things in mind as I go.

    I’m adding a checkbox later to remove that “missing image” link (didn’t know it was missing… that’ll be fixed in the next update – but can you send me a link to your site so I can see it?).

    And I agree with you about the user-configurable category. Currently brainstorming and researching about the best way to (unobtrusively) implement that.

    You’re more than welcome to have a look. The installation is at https://www.hey-hon.com. If you look at the front page you will see two book reviews, and down towards the bottom something entitled a “pattern review.”

    Thanks,
    Anne
