Popularity

It’s interesting to see which posts get the most comments, and so this morning I wrote a little plugin for WordPress that displays just that. You can see its results in the “Most Popular Posts” section in the sidebar. As for the plugin itself, I’ll release it once I fix a few things with it (it includes unapproved comments in the count, and for some reason when I try to kick those out of the result set, it returns an empty set — weird). And I’ll release it on Outside the Box.

Next, I need to fix the recent comments plugin so it doesn’t include comments from me… (That’s why I haven’t been commenting lately — I don’t want the “Recent Comments” to show only my name. :))
