Noticed The Top Commentators Got Reset

:lol: You can't be far wrong from that!

The MyBlogLog pic's definitely help with the communal feel of this site!

Haha yeah I got the pen last month! WOOHOO!!

Does it work? :twisted:

Yeah, it's Technorati!

And your stats, its also possible to refine a google search to see how many inbound links come from a site, thought its never that 'clean'

As you say, Technorati is the best method

Haven't had heard of it. Would have a go at looking at that later.

It is akin to a very lively forum, the commentators here. :razz: Everyone just wants to have a go!

It will, you just have to get your name out there!

Like Saman says, I think you will find your comments begin to increase. Before installing this plugin, I had the rare comment here and there.

Since installing the plugin, I am getting much more regular comments on each post. A big part of it is getting your name/blog out there to other people. You can do that by commenting on other people's sites or contributing in some other way.

For instance, I won a contest here and John linked to me and then I helped John with a fix for the threaded comments and he linked to me again. Those links brought a good number of people to my site and some of them stick around and become regulars.

They don't, I think there is an issue with the plugin - or we aren't understanding how it works yet...

ahh...ok...that makes more sense....

Commitment and a desire to get onto the top posters list :!:

But shouldn't it?

I think that's what everyone thinks it should do based on the way the plugin describes it, but in reality it sounds like the plugin might just limit all comments from the last seven days instead of only for a specific month with the monthly setup.

Right, but on that reset day, there shouldn't be any comments yet - right?

But I have yet to see it say anything less then 20 comments, maybe I'm just visiting it late...

I notice that it changes EVERY day. It doesn't reset, it just fluctuates based on the last 7 days!

Ryan, I have to agree with you on that. The fluctuation varies from commentators to commentators, it seems. Oh wells..

I don't think it's all that big of a deal, and it might actually be better if it works out that way. This way people don't spam for a day to get 50 comments and then just take the rest of the week off.

:lol:

So it is a rolling count then???

I agree! It's always nice to see regulars from John's site on mine!

Yes, I was quite excited when I saw that John visited my blog a couple weeks ago.

That's a good question! I would remove all authors from my Top Commentator's list.

Does that make me more evil then the Root of All Evil?

Perks of the job??

Also, I suppose he comments in his own time as a reader rather than an author

Is it on a 7 day rolling schedule?

I don't think it's on a rolling schedule. He says it resets every week, but maybe John can verify this for us?
