| Express Yourself By Ranking Articles Beginning on Thursday, July 10 About.com added a new feature to the articles on the various Guide sites. Readers can now rate the articles from 1 through 5 to vote for whether or not they would recommend that article to other readers. Users can only vote once for each article- even if its a 5 page article a vote on page 3 or 4 will count for the whole article. In the near future About.com will begin to use the ratings provided by the Users to highlight popular articles so that other Users may benefit from them as well. As you read an article, look at the bottom of each page for the Rate This Article box and express yourself. For an example of what the Rate This Article box looks like you can look at the bottom of this article. To review past articles you may have liked and place your votes for them you can refer to the articles archive. | |||||
