Add ''GD Star Rating Plugin'' To my Arras Wordpress Theme Homepage AND Minor Color Edit.

Hello. I would like to add the gd star rating plugin to my wordpress arras theme homepage. I found a tutorial on this at: [login to view URL] But I cant seem to get it to work and get syntax error everytime. On the main page of my website I have a list of top ten products and below the brief description I want the rating for each of these items. ALSO I would like the "Read Review" Button backgrounds to be blue. I would like to know what the css code is as well so I can change the color in the future. Please see screenshot for more info: [login to view URL] Also feel free to ask any questions you may have.
