While maintaining this blog i have learned some important principles of blogging. One of them is increasing the comments and various ways to do that. By using Get Recent Comments, has definitely helped me increase the comments. What i have observed on this blog is that when i display these comments people are more attracted to what others are saying about the post. Not only does it increase your page views but also you may receive some interesting comments from your readers. I have implemented this principle in my web 2.0 pinky theme release.
Information
This plugin shows excerpts of the latest comments and/or trackbacks in your sidebar. You have comprehensive control about their appearance. This ranges from the number of comments, the length of the excerpts up to the html layout. You can let the plugin order the comments by the corresponding post, or simply order them by date. The plugin can (optionally) separate the trackbacks/pingbacks from the comments. It can ignore comments to certain categories, and it offers support for gravatars. It only gives extra work to the database, when actually a new comment arrived. You can filter out unwanted pingbacks, which originate from your own blog. And it is a widget.
