Everton already has this, but many people don&#8217;t.</p><p>That has done wonders for us as far as getting people to come back and leave MORE comments on a discussion after someone else comments. People tend to want to know what was said after they left their own comment.</p><p>We finally installed that since I noticed that I tend to check that &#8220;subscribe me to comments&#8221; box when I leave a comment somewhere, and Jennifer does the same. Well, lots of folks do. :-)</p><p>Have an awesome day!<br /> Dan</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: Enblogopedia</title><link>http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/03/05/increasing-the-number-of-comments-on-your-blog/comment-page-1/#comment-56759</link> <dc:creator>Enblogopedia</dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 05 Mar 2007 19:43:17 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/03/05/increasing-the-number-of-comments-on-your-blog/#comment-56759</guid> <description>Well, the threaded comments plugin will be a great idea, indeed!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, the threaded comments plugin will be a great idea, indeed!</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: Dan and Jennifer</title><link>http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/03/05/increasing-the-number-of-comments-on-your-blog/comment-page-1/#comment-56754</link> <dc:creator>Dan and Jennifer</dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 05 Mar 2007 18:11:24 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/03/05/increasing-the-number-of-comments-on-your-blog/#comment-56754</guid> <description>Hey Everton,We&#039;ve seen a significant increase in comments since we made these 2 changes a few weeks ago: 1. installed the Top Commentators plugin 2. added the MyBlogLog avatar plugin to commentsNext, we&#039;ll be adding the threaded comments plugin - seems to do wonders for John Chow. It actually gives your comments more of a &quot;forum&quot; feel which is really great for getting more people involved back and forth.Just haven&#039;t had the time to do it yet since our comments template is already heavily modified and we&#039;d basically be replacing it. :-)Also we&#039;ll be adding a &quot;recent comments&quot; plugin to highlight older posts that are still seeing action...* Not sure which one of these to go with though, there are 10 of them out there. Suggestions? * Our theme doesn&#039;t support widgets btw, so just looking for a simple low-overhead plugin to list the recently commented posts.Have an awesome day!
