Hi,
I have a blog on movie reviews, and I want users to be able to rate the movies themselves, something like what IMDB does, that is, it takes into consideration the average of all the ratings that users give to a particular movie.
How do I do this?
Thanks.

Its not really something that's hard to do.... but it does require you to be able to store data about what reviews people are giving. The simplest case would be to let people choose to give each movie a ranking that's between like 1 and 10. Then just add up each value and divide by the total number of voters. Start there and then just keep making your rating system better and better as time passes.
You'll have to store all this info somewhere, and that somewhere is probably going to be a server. So I guess it's time for you to learn yourself a good server-side language.

You need a database and a site that supports a programming language. This way you can create a basic html for to collect data then store and report information from a database.
You may also look at searching for "polling software", this may be time consuming because you would use 3rd party software to tag each of your blog posts...
