How Does WP-PostRatings Load CSS?

WP-PostRatings will load postratings-css.css from your theme's directory if it exists.
If it doesn't exists, it will just load the default 'postratings-css.css' that comes with WP-PostRatings.
This will allow you to upgrade WP-PostRatings without worrying about overwriting your ratings styles that you have created.
