CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin

Comments are a wonderful thing to receive on your blog, adding the dofollow plugin is one way to reward but why not place a link to their last post under their comment, with CommentLuv, you can do that automatically! This is an excellent way to promote comments from your readers.

example:

The CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin will visit the feed of the comment author and attempt to scrape the last post they made and display it under their comment, this way you can encourage people to join in the discussion of your posts and give something back straight away.

The plugin looks for a feed at the site given in the URL field of the commentform, if you have an auto find feed then it should find it.

The plugin retrieves your last post at the time of the comment being entered and appends the extra text just before the comment gets saved to the database, this way it doesn’t put any extra load on the database or server other than the effort required add another 60 or so characters to the comment content.

Note:The plugin starts to add peoples last post AFTER it has been installed. Comments that were made before the plugin was installed will not show the authors last post. You can test it yourself by logging out of Wordpress and adding a comment to one of your posts but, use a different URL for the website of the author (you can use http://www.fiddyp.co.uk if you like!)
