Read It Now – 21 April 2007
- Did anybody notice the list of “Weekly Top Commentators” on my sidebar? Well, somebody said that having the “Top Commentators” plugin installed will encourage people to leave comments on your blog. Well, I’m now testing it to see whether whatever he said is indeed true *winks* I had it set to show the top commentators of the week, which means it will be reset weekly — other options are hourly (whoops!), daily, monthly, yearly and “all-time”.
So if you want to encourage people to leave comments on your blog too, you may want to download the widgetized “Top Commentators” plugin here.
- There’s this very touching pictorial journey of Cyndie and her son, Derek, who was diagnosed with cancer. Start from the first picture, and scroll down to read the descriptions. But before that, prepare lots of Kleenex. Got this from PlainJaneMom.
- If you find yourself having a writer’s block or whatever you call it, check out Mindbump, which serves up random blog writing prompts (or ideas, as we call it) generated by bloggers. So, no more having to blog about the weather! Hooray! :)

I really don’t mean to spam but that pictorial journey really stir my mood, though i didn’t use any Kleenex.
This is sad but it is true:
“I just wish that some of the percentage of money that goes to cancer research can be diverted to families going through this because many people will never benefit from the research,” says Cyndie.
pelf: I didn’t use Kleenex either. I used my TOWEL instead! :) And yes, whatever she said was indeed very true :)

Hi, I’d be really interested to find out if you do find an increase in genuine comments by using the recent comments / weekly top commentators plugins. So far people I’ve spoken to find a reasonable increase, but quite a leap in spam. I’m working on an article, so any info you may I’d really appreciate.

Nice attempt, i only notice after you have mentioned it. =) i would like to suggest something. why not put in the mybloglog visitor widget side by side, above or below the top commentator section? well, that is if you have mybloglog.
cheers and good luck in your experiment!
pelf: Hhaha, I don’t have a MyBlogLog account. Actually, I’m trying NOT to sign up for accounts lately, especially after the “digital management” post I did :)
