How to display Rating(0-5) column from Posts List under each post of default.aspx page

Question

I have created one Blog site in SharePoint 2010, in which I need to display Rating under each blog post, I had made in-build rating setting functionality, I need to display the "Rating(0-5)" column under each post, In default.aspx page I have added the column but it is not displaying.

Can anyone share idea how to display Rating column from Posts List under each post.

You will need to create custom copy of the blog.xsl where you add this to the position where you want the ratings to be shown:

<!--Start Blog Post Average Rating  -->
<div style="margin-left:5px;">
<xsl:for-each select="$Fields">
<xsl:if test="@Name ='AverageRating'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@Name='AverageRating'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="PrintFieldWithDisplayFormLink">
<xsl:with-param name="thisNode" select="$thisNode"/>
<xsl:with-param name="Position" select="$Position"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>
<!--End Blog Post Average Rating   -->

Then you reference that XSL in the Posts web part using SharePoint Designer.
