Add
Ratings to SharePoint Blog Site
This handy little utility works with the User Ratings Web Part to automatically add Ratings to blog posts. Fix the bug Microsoft created - sure, you can enable them, but will users go to your Posts library to rate them? No! This provides the User Rating RIGHT
ON THE BLOG PAGE!
NOTE: FULL DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED - THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE PART (WE USE IT IN TRAINING) THAT SHOWS YOU HOW TO VERIFY A WEB PART IS INSTALLED AND HOW TO PROGRAMATICALLY ADD IT TO A SHAREPOINT PAGE.
NOTE: SEE THE USER RATING WEB PART (http://userratingwebpart.codeplex.com/) DOCUMENTATION FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ENABLE RATINGS FOR A LIST OR LIBRARY - ALSO FOR TIPS ON SOCIAL RATINGS,

Simply specify the full URL to a new Blog site - this part will check for the installation of the "User Rating Web Part for SharePoint 2010" (http://userratingwebpart.codeplex.com/). It will
then open the Blog Site, enable ratings on the Posts library then add the web part to the Post.aspx page - all in one click!
Automatic utility for site administrators - use from any SharePoint site/site collection (all that is required is adequate permissions). WILL NOT BREAK THE SITE even if it fails!
