Wordpress Wednesdays: My Top Commentators
Posted on July 16th, 2008
Blogging is not a one-way form of communication. It’s a conversation and a great way to encourage conversation is to reward your top commentators. Many blogs, like Beyond the Rhetoric and Derek Semmler dot Com, make a post to highlight the top commentators of each month.
Generally, these same blogs make use of a plug-in that displays the current top commentators, but what if you are not around when the count is reset? There are techniques to run a mySQL query or to check into the Google cache of your blog, but there is actually a Wordpress plug-in that is a lot more powerful than that.
My Top Commentators places a utility inside the Wordpress Dashboard where you can check on all sorts of information on the people who are leaving comments on your blog. Just like the default Comments section, you can see their email addresses, URLs, and IP addresses. The difference is that you can see who left the most comments over a defined period of time.
You can see the top commentators for today, yesterday, last 7 days, this month, last month, this year, or last year. The My Top Commentators plug-in can be downloaded here. It was coded by Pawan Agrawal of MaxBlogPress.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
That sounds like a very handy plugin that can certainly come in handy. I’ll have to give it a try, thanks for mentioning it.
