WordPress Wednesday: My Comments Elsewhere
Posted on February 4th, 2009
Increasingly, bloggers want their readers to know what they’re doing. That’s partly why social networking sites, like Facebook, and social bookmarking sites, like Reddit, have increased in popularity as well. We want to be social with our readers so that we can connect as people. You encourage readers to follow you on Twitter and to be your friend on Digg. The My Comments Elsewhere WordPress plug-in expands on this sentimentality.
Just as you probably want the readers of your blog to engage in conversation through the form of comments on your blog, you probably surf around on the blogosphere leaving few comments of your own. The My Comments Elsewhere plug-in integrates these two activities by displaying the comments that you have left on other blogs on your own blog.
Using the BackType API, the My Comments Elsewhere plug-in checks the web for your latest comments at an interval of your choosing. Your comments can be culled hourly, daily, or weekly, being displayed as a sidebar widget or as core content on your blog.
