They took an already great theme and gave it some breathing room with a third column. You can also get a split version with the small columns surrounding the main, center column.

It was getting descent usage but in my last upgrade something broke and it stopped working. It never really worked correctly in the first place so I'd like to replace it.

So, my request dear reader is for a post rating plugin to use. Let me know what you've used and like and I'll try them out. Leave the info. in the comments (links would be helpful).

Thanks!

It is big, bold, and customizable. A sizable list of plugins are supported (but not required) out of the gate and the look is a bit different than many themes.

I don't think I need to justify this one but if you want a few reasons: excellent design, sponsored but allows for removal of sponsor link, excellent design, excellent design.
