Here is the code (original pipe and codes provided by BloggerSentral, date limit feature by Pehpot's husband, edited by moi, long-winded [but NOT boring!] story HERE) that you can use to display the top commentators of your Blogger blog and give some some love to people who love you the most. The features?
- It ACCURATELY displays the top commentators from the last FIVE THOUSAND (5000) comments of your blog.
- You are allowed to exclude THREE commentators of your choice (Anonymous is already excluded)
- You can set the number of names to display on your sidebar and commentators' links are linked to URL provided.
- You can set the date for inclusion and exclusion (i.e. you want the list to show ONLY the top commentators for the whole month of January).
HOW TO INSTALL THE TOP COMMENTATORS WIDGET ON YOUR BLOGGER BLOG:
- Go to Layout and click Add a Gadget.
- Choose HTML/JavaScript.
- Copy and paste the below codes on the HTML/JavaScript gadget.
<script type="text/javascript">
function getYpipe(feed) {
document.write('<ol>');
var i;
for (i = 0; i < feed.count ; i++)
{
var href = "'" + feed.value.items[i].link + "'";
if(feed.value.items[i].link == "")
var item ="<li>" + feed.value.items[i].title + "</li>";
else
var item = "<li>" + "<a href="+ href + '" target="_blank">' + feed.value.items[i].title + "</a> </li>";
document.write(item);
}
document.write('</ol>');
}
