CHANGELOG:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
v 1.2.2 Updates (March 18, 2007):

 * ADDED: prefixed DB calls with $rating_dbname for better separation from other scripts
          This will really help with Wordpress installs - As of 1.2.2 I don't think
          you need to do any special tweaks.

 * UPDATED: changed some variable names so as not to confuse with other scripts

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
v 1.2.1 Updates (March 18, 2007):

 * ADDED: a new check to keep voters from faking the vote to something very high
 * ADDED: a check to stop people from voting multiple times
 * ADDED: example of using 'static' to the Read Me

 * UPDATED: Use echo now to render your star rater, because I'm using 'return' 
            instead of echo in the function

 * FIXED: bug where you couldn't have letters in your id. Now, letters and numbers only
 * FIXED: issue with number of votes cast (i.e. '0') not showing up for new IDs

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
v 1.2 Updates (March 11, 2007):

 * ADDED: a couple checks to stop possible SQL injection hacks
 * ADDED: 'rel="nofollow"' to the rendered rating bar links
 * ADDED: Automatic inserting of ID's in the DB
 * ADDED: New variables to make it easier to fix your paths!
 * ADDED: Ability to call a rater "static" so you can't vote
          (Might come in handy if someone needs to be logged in to vote...)

 * FIXED: SQL in this readme to use backticks for easier copy-n-paste
 * FIXED: modified a couple CSS styles that were giving people headaches

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
v 1.1 Features:
 * Uses unobtrusive Javascript, so ratings will still work if the user has Javascript off
   (the script has been tested in IE 6, Safari, and FF).
 * keeps Javascript out of the HTML, resulting in cleaner markup
 * There are now some checks in place to discourage monkey-business, like negative numbers, or funky IP's
 * IP lockout is now in the script
 * You can now specify the number of units! If you want 5 stars, just add a 5, otherwise the script defaults to 10.
 * Enter database info in one place rather than three places
 * This script only uses ONE image
