 * Okay this is a weird request, basically was wondering is there a way on each 
   different post to add something on the right or left hand column that could only
   be viewed on the column. Let me give you an example, say I rate a movie and I
   want the rating to be on the column but only on that post. Anyway to do this?
   Any mod or widget or addon available for this?

 * I don’t think it’s possible unless you can somehow work out a HTML code that 
   works that way.
 * Anyway, lets just see what the other people say about this problem. 😉

 * I’m not presently aware of any widgets that are post content-aware in any useful
   way to your request.
 * As for a ‘mod,’ one tool I like using because it’s built into WordPress (and 
   is quite useful if you know how to take advantage of it) is custom fields. For
   an example, you can use a custom field key of ‘rating,’ with the value being 
   the movie rating you’ve given.
 * Then in the sidebar you can add the following to collect and display the ‘rating’
   custom field:
 *     ```
       <?php
       global $post;
       $rating = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'rating', true);
       if( $rating ) : ?>
       <ul>
       <li>Rating: <?php echo $rating; ?></li>
       <ul>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * An enterprising widget developer could easily widgetize something like this…

 * One other thing some blogs have like a mini gallery at the bottom that leads 
   to a photo gallery any clue on how to do this. The code works out fine! Thanks,
   Just wondering it appears very small, for me.

 * RE: text size
 * Couple options. One is to place the rating in an <h2> with the rest of your sidebar’s
   headers (i.e. Search, Archives):
 * `<li><h2>Rating: <?php echo $rating; ?></h2></li>`
 * Second is to modify your list tag to include a class:
 * `<li class="rating">Rating: <?php echo $rating; ?></li>`
 * Then you can style this through your theme’s style.css.
