Encourage your users by letting them express their feelings by "emoting" rather than voting.

== Description ==

Emo Vote let's you encourage your users by letting them express their feelings by "emoting" rather than voting.
Emoting is a fairly simple activity, just press the button that describes your feeling towards the post you
just read.

Thanks to [Mindpark](http://mindpark.se/in-english/) and especially [Joakim Jardenberg](http://jardenberg.se/)
for sponsoring the development of this plugin. Without you this plugin wouldn't exist.

A few features listed below:

*   Choose your own labels for each button.
*   Drag 'n drop the buttons in your own order.
*   Choose a unqiue question for each post, using WordPress custom fields, see FAQ for details.
*   The buttons are fully customizeable using CSS.
*   "Emote" by RSS.
*   Emo Vote uses the same localization technique as the well-known function `comments_popup_link()`. Just replace the parameters according to your current locale, `<?php emo_vote_display('No votes','One vote','% votes'); ?>`.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I want to encourage my users even more by adding a question or statement before the emoting options =

This is possible using WordPress built-in custom fields. Add a field with the name `emo-vote` and choose value.
The value can be unique for each post.

= The buttons looks like crappy blue squares in Internet Explorer 6 =

How about upgrading your browser? Just kidding, some unlucky ones are still stuck with IE6.
I would recommend [TwinHelix's PNGFix](http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/).
Place `iepngfix.htc` and `blank.gif` files in your webroot and add `behavior: url(/iepngfix.htc);` to the #input_0-#input_4 elements
inside your `emo-vote.css` file.
