Hi! I'm Allen and I welcome you to my blog. I blog mainly about my blogging experiences where I get to learn how to earn money online through blogging and have fun doing so. To learn more about my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. If you have some questions, feel free to ask me by using my contact form. Thank and have a nice day.

Since I am very thankful to the people who visit, comment and just read my blog, I would like to give some love. Aside from saying, I love you all (oh yeah!), you get a reward! The reward is this, the top commentators plug-in.

These are the settings that I have set in the options.

• The top commentators will be featured for 15 days before it resets.
• Up to ten (10) commentators will be displayed
• If there is a link provided, then your name will also have a link.

Although since my blog is fairly new, I don’t know if it can benefit the blogs of the top commentators. Oh well, now if only I can make it work… -_-

Edit: Yeah I made it work… Based on what I have done, it does not work if I just used a text widget for it so I edited the template manually.

Continue for a tip on how to maximize your link using this plug-in
Just a simple tip if you want to maximize your link while you are included in the top commentator list.

• Instead of linking to your website, link to a blog post that you have.
• Although giving your name is more personalized, if you want to think of SEO and all that stuff then instead of using your name, use some keywords.

These two tips can benefit your blog more. But I guess the second tip can have positive and negative effects.

How to install/show/activate the top commentators plug-in?

1. Download the plug-in file from the author’s site.
2. Put the file show_top_commentators.php into your wp-content/plugins/ folder
3. Activate the plug-in in the wordpress administration
4. Show top commentators does not have an interface for its options. You have to manually edit the show_top_commentators.php file to set the options. However, it is properly documented so it is easy to follow.
5. All that’s left is to display it into your template. This is the code that you will be adding in your template.
   <?php if(function_exists('ns_show_top_commentators')) { ?>
<li>
<h2>Top Commentators</h2>
<ul><?php ns_show_top_commentators(); ?></ul>
</li>
<?php } ?>
6. Now to put this in your sidebar, there are two ways to do it.
   1. Use a text widget and paste that code (I tried this and it did not work… -_-)
   2. Manually edit your sidebar.php file (I recommend that you make a back up of your sidebar.php file first before editing it)
      sidebar.php can be found under Presentation->Theme Editor->Sidebar.php
