Pay attention, this is how we turn a personal gripe into a useful article for everyone .

Threaded Comments is a truly awesome invention ain’t it? It encourages easy to implement reply comments from not just the blog admin, but from other readers as well; a true community type atmosphere indeed!

I was a little late to the game, but when I finally got it, they were truly appreciated by all; especially me! Now I wonder why all bloggers with over a certain amount of comments per post don’t use it.

Top Commenter is another amazing addition to any blog, yes? Encouraging comments, replies, replies to replies and so on; much like threaded comments, but with one ultimate goal…..to be #1! It’s also quite awesome for contests. Hehe.

All good and fun, right? Yea, well…

Three things to not forget - Guest bloggers wanted. Top Commenter contest March. $100 Blog Improvement Review Contest.

First things first - if you’re a daily coder type person, then this will be obvious. However if code is your nemesis (arch enemy), then you may not have known this and find it kinda cool…

Would you like to freak out a fellow blogger who does not have the CommentLuv plugin installed on their blog? Hehehe. I was recently editing my typos on someones blog using their nifty edit comments plugin and noticed the code for my CommentLuv link:

<abbr><em>Dennis Edell´s last blog post..<a href=”http://www.directsaleswebmarketing.com/best-blog-improvement-review-contest-1-winner-100-via-paypal/”>Best “Blog Improvement Review” Contest - 1 Winner - $100 via Paypal</a></abbr></em>

Being one of those that is learning code slowly but surely I asked myself if this would work anywhere HTML works; as you can see, it does:

I told ya it was coming . When I announced the top commenter winners for January, I stated that there were two posts coming regarding comments on this blog. A general one regarding the official comment policy of this blog and a whole separate page regarding rules & tips for the monthly top commenter contests.

There IS a new updated comment policy and you DO want to read it, as it WILL be enforced. And yes, a few slicksters out there may want to consider that a threat .

Relax. It’s very simple, straight forward and logical. Not to mention, still more lenient then most I’ve seen. All in all though, it had to be done.

I do wish to sincerely apologize to a select few in regards to number 1. In the past I allowed a 3rd option for the name field…..pure keywords as long as you signed a real name under your comment.
