Something New: Comment Luv Plug In
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNj3IFkKCOw[/youtube]
Coolio: 1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin New)
I’ve installed something new on this website. It’s the comment luv plug in. I first heard about it thanks to the lovely Sharon of The Diva Network and I was just over visiting one of my new blogs Rolando of R Playground and I was reminded, when I left my comment, that I did not install this on my website. It’s up and running now.
Who Created It?
Why the talented Andy Bailey.
What It Does?
If a commenter has a website it will will display the last post that they’ve written. I think it’s a fabulous way for my readers to get to know a little about one another and it’s a great way for you to promote your latest and greatest post. If you’re interested in the comment luv plug in you can download it by going to Andy Bailey’s website.
Increase In Spam?
It might cause an increase in spam comments I honestly don’t know since I just installed it on this blog. I don’t discriminate all comments are welcome as long as you don’t spam.
If you are a business owner, I won’t strip your url simply because you are a business owner. I have quite a few readers who are business owners and some of them do comment and link to their business. Their comments are thoughtful and just as important as anyone else.
Most of us promote our websites by leaving our url I’m not going to dock a business owner simply because they happen to leave their url. I’m a business owner myself, and occasionally I do use my business website in my url.

reiskeks,
It looks like it worked. Actually I was the first CTD. I did a test comment so it’s working. That being said I’m glad that my first real commenter on this post has their post showing. Thanks for stopping by. :razz:

hi, thanks for using CommentLuv!
please let me know if you experience any issues with it as I’m still in the process of updating it to version 1.0.
it’s been behaving fine on my blog since I made it and can pick up most peoples last posts but if you spot anything strange happening feel free to send me a message about it and I’ll do what I can to sort it out.
ta!

on October 10th, 2007 at 11:23 am
didn’t work for you beth because you have a non-standard feed location (?feed=rss) , this is something that will be taken care of in the next release!

Oh, that’s me..non-standard. ;)
on October 10th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Well, thats cool! I may have to see about doing this too!
on October 10th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Guess mine is non-standard too LOL

I use Feedburner,, what’s up with that?
on October 10th, 2007 at 1:43 pm
April,
I thought the same thing when I saw it. :-) I really stink at my titles. I need to improve that.
WomansIndex,
No resikes uses Blogger and their last post showed up without any issues, I do think you have to have a RSS Feed. I’ll follow up just to make sure.
Calamity,
I think it might not be able to locate your feed. I remember noting that I could not find a feed when I first was on your website.
Beth Ellen,
Hey non-standard is pretty cool in my book. It’s good to know that this will be addressed in the next update. I’m sure more people will cruise on over to look at your fab photos.
MacBros,
LOL this would only happen to ole Mac, lol. I’ll follow up and let Andy know.
Opal’s last blog post..Ferrets Haven: Updating
on October 10th, 2007 at 1:44 pm
don’t worry Beth, it’ll be fixed on the next release, it’ll also work for Calamity too
MacBros, it may be a timeout from this server to your server for the feed.
it should be able to be fixed if Momma puts this line in the config.php in the root of the blog folder
define(’MAGPIE_FETCH_TIME_OUT’, 7);
7 is the timout length in seconds, you might be able to get it down to 5 and it should parse macbros’s feed
hope this helps!

Andy,
Wow your fast! I just arrived home. What a great way to assist others using your plugin. I’ll definitely be doing a follow-up review and making a donation. I now need to locate your donation link and add you to my WP Plugins page.
on October 10th, 2007 at 1:53 pm
:oops: no donation needed! I only made this for my blog and have turned it into a release because of the nice people that helped me test it and the response to it has been reward enough for me :smile:

Andy,
I really like that I do hope you have a donation page or think of including one in the near future. I’m making donations to the plug in authors. I really appreciate what you all do.
I added the code to my config.php file.
on October 10th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
OK, here’s another test.
on October 10th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
Nope. No luck. :cry:
on October 10th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
oh noes!
I’ll work on it when I am doing the code for the next version, it should be ready after the weekend.
wow, this is a great place for feedback :-)

great plugin! I”ll have a go with it on one of my new blogs.
on October 11th, 2007 at 8:54 am
MacBros,
Sorry it’s not working but I’m sure Andy will get it up and running.
Andy,
thanks so much for your assistance. It’s appreciated and I know my readers appreciate it also. :-)
Bobby,
Thanks! I’m enjoying your site also.
teeni,
Regardless of where you post the plug in will work! :-)
AnitBarbie,
I think you are right. I love it! I link to my readers websites often so this makes it even better and a great way to recognize even more people.
pelf,
I use the no follow tag also. It’s great!
costa rica,
You need to have an RSS feed in order for it to work. When you comment on someone’s blog it will link to the last post that you’ve written.
WomansIndex,
Great, I’m really liking your website.
on October 11th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Wow this is a pretty cool plug-in. This is the type of plug-in that can be a real community builder!
Opal thanks for the demonstration, and Andy thanks for coming up with a great idea.
I agree, it will be interesting to see if this changes Comment Spam in any way.
And my latest post is . . .

Andy Bailey,
Wow that was fast! Thanks for the follup. I know I and those who are using the plug in appreciate it.

I use CommentLuv too, and I think it’s a great plugin. I’ve downloaded the latest version and I hope that it’s working for more “latest entry” :wink:

This plugin is great and works like a charm. Spam is not an issue in my testing and while I do see some extra activity - its really doesn’t affect me, since SK2 I use for killing it takes care of the small problem :)
Link love provided by plugin overwrites any concerns. It makes your blog truly sparkle :D

I actually googled this plugin and it took me to this post, so it is actually no. 1 in Google. That is pretty good. I am sort of trying to work out if I want to install it on my blogs.

This is a great idea. I wish my blogspot could have it. All blogs should have this plugin.
Another great one is so commentors can edit their comments for a few minutes after pressing the submit button - good for fixing spelling errors.
great blog you have.

I think it may cause an increase in spam… I also am a little concerned that Google might not like it… they are great plugins for “community” sites but not so good for “SEO” sites I think. So it depends on that you’re going for… as a compromise I have it on about 1/2 my blogs

I’ve looked at installing comment luv, but my only problem is that involves adapting comments.php and I reckon I might wait until I’ve stop changing my themes.

Oops, I’ve had another look and I’ve found that you don’t have to change comment.php after all so I have added the plugin to two of my blogs just to check it out.

I’ve just noticed that the latest blog entry link doesn’t change.

This might sound odd, but does the link back auto update to the newest post or it is trapped forever in time?

I think the link generated is static. still good though.

I’ve been wondering … since you activated the plugin have you seen more (or less) “comment spam”? Just wondering because I have a couple of sites that need some more traffic but don’t really want comment spam traffic… if that makes sense…. :)
on July 17th, 2008 at 1:09 am
Its true, going do follow and installing luv comment would certainly help increase traffic in your blog. I did it for my blog, and traffic increased 3folds! Amazing isn it. I’m sure you’ll be a great success!
on July 24th, 2008 at 5:21 am
thanks for this post

I also agree. maybe you can treat yourself to like, an in-home massage or something to make up for it. :).Since I am a man I will not submit an idea of how you should indulge yourself. But, I will say that he better bring you back a sandwich!
on July 26th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
It’s become a VERY popular plugin - and for good reason! :)
