79 Top Commenter's Widget for Blogger Blogs!
Monday, March 10, 2008 /

Would you like to display a list of the top commenters in your blog? This widget will enable you to do exactly that! If you install this widget, a list of the top ten people who have commented most in your blog will be displayed with along with the count of comments they have made.

This is a great way of thanking readers who comment regularly and is very easy to add to your blog layout using the one click widget installer






To install this widget in your own blog, simply change the title to suit your preferences and alter the URL to match that of your blog.

If your blog has a Blog*Spot URL, you should enter your URL like this:

yourblog.blogspot.com

If you use a custom domain for your blog, simply enter the URL of your blog's domain.

In either case, do not add the "http://" part! This is already rendered by the script used to display the commenter feed.

If you would like to remove your own name from the list, enter your name in the "Filter Your Name" box.

Use the form below to add this widget to your own Blogger powered blog:

This widget is based on the Top Commentators Widget for Blogger which was created by Assess My Blog. It uses Yahoo Pipes to process the last 500 comments made on your blog, and displays a list of the ten people who have commented the most in this range.

Each name is linked to the most recent comment on your blog made by this person (since it would be very difficult to create a generic script which would work for all blogs and comment settings!).

Update: I have now added an extra element which allows you to remove your own name from the list of Top Commenters (thanks to Carrotmadman6 for the tip!).

I have tested this extensively in IE6/7 and Firefox and in these browsers the script and display work just fine. If anyone notices a glitch or problem in other browsers, please let me know so I can work on solving the issue.

If you find this widget useful, please tell your friends or bookmark this post using your favorite service. I have worked long and hard to create this installer and really appreciate your help in spreading the word about this new tool :)

Hey Amanda,
How can i make this widget when i click on user nick name to go directly on his website ? It's this possible ?

You design a widget and then get months worth of questions when people have problems and you just ignore everyone?

Classy.

Well, I tried this one and it's not working just like it's not working for many others. Obviously this site is a waste of time.

I'm going to check it out, but i'm sure Wordpress 2.7 has a widget that allows you to do this?

Hi, I'm using this widget and it just stopped working?

http://www.justaintright.blogspot.com

Look at the far righthand column. It worked fine yesterday and today it doesn't. I didn't make any changes to my blog layout, so this is weird.

March 17, 2009 at 7:10 PM HelenWheels said...

Looks like Joy has the same issue I do. Hmmm!

It is really a nice widget Amanda,but i feel it is better to show the commentator's blogger profile or website link instead of linking to the comments that he have made..

thanks for this widget

This just stopped working for me within the past week. I tried removing it and re-adding it but still no luck. The placeholder is there but there's no feed.

I have the same problem as Shawn. It worked great (for months) til a week ago. Now it just shows the name I gave it and 'Widget by Blogger Buster' link where the widget should actually be.

I'm having a problem with this widget (which I *really* want to use!). It works fine when I first add it to my sidebar. Then I'll log back on to my blog a little later and it'll be gone - only the title remains, no names. Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for sharing with us...Really u have did a great help to me...from one week I'm searching for the plug in for blog to list out commentators....Nice!

July 24, 2009 at 6:46 AM Jane Smith said...

I've had this widget on my blog for ages and it's worked beautifully--until now.

So I deleted it, and reinstalled it: but it's still not working. It shows the title, but not any names or comment-counts. Any ideas why?

Hi Amanda, we have 12 contributors on one of my blogs and we want to be able to remove all their names from this widget. Is it possible? I've tried entering names with just spaces and commas and = but none has worked.

September 11, 2009 at 1:29 PM Baby Bassinet said...

I have been looking for an application like this. I will be sure to pass this along to my fellow bloggers. Hoping that the bugs are fixed. We will let you know if we have any issues using your widget.
