Sorry to hear about your Linky Love. I came up with a fix for you though — I emailed it to you this morning so check your inbox! Might be a little technical, but I got it to work on mine. You’re right, having the total number of comments does take away from the design!

Graham Strong’s last blog post…How Do I Write This?

Welcome. The obligation would be becoming an involved reader and commenter who adds value to the conversation, just as before, I suppose.

Yep, you’re missing something. I added a plugin last night, recommended by Graham, called Lucia LinkLove… it’s supposed to turn comments into do-follow after you’ve had a certain number of comments (which is good for your blog’s ranking, doesn’t do a thing for me). It seemed like such a nice thing to add because my readers are great, I wanted to give a little reward for being loyal commenters.

It wasn’t working right, maybe because it doesn’t like the newest version of WordPress, so earlier today I was messing with it. It said everyone here had no comments yet. Stupid.

Finally I got the number of comments to show up, that’s where the 213 came in—it’s the total number of comments you’ve made here, apparently—and it was showing up all ugly after your name. What I was aiming for was not having that info show up on the blog, so after tweaking the code for a while unsuccessfully, Lucia got dumped. I’m going to have to look for a more cooperative do-follow plugin.

If anyone can make a short story long, it’s me.

Later,

Kelly

What’s this, about 213 comments…and “Wow” ?

(not sure if I’m missing something here)
