SheepTech has joined the club! To encourage more comments and voice from our readers, SheepTech is now CommentLuv and Top Commentators enabled. If you are unfamiliar with these WordPress plugin, CommentLuv will grab your blog’s latest article and link to it whenever you post a comment.
Top Commentators plugin on the other hand, as its name suggest, will list the top 5 commentators at the sidebar. As the comment activity on this blog is low, it’s not at all difficult to get on the list. The highest commentator at the point of writing has just 2 comments, the rest being just one.
For the time being, all the links are nofollow. I might consider do-following in the future, depends on how things go.
Alright, start commenting already

Hey, nice move! I have the CommentLuv plug-in on my blog too.
I used to have the Top Commentator as well but I removed it due to the number of spam comments. Hope it won’t happen to you!

Hello Michael,
Thanks. I’m still experimenting to see how the response go, and will act accordingly. That is the reason why I did not make these links dofollow. It’s not that fun after all to be a spammer magnet.
Did you receive my (ugly) email?

Welcome to the club mate…well but you are not fully welcome only half welcome….You won’t get full entry to the club until the links are dofollow
…Kidding…By the way thanks for visiting my blog now and then. I just came to know of your blog. Now will visit regularly so do expect some SPAM and UGLY looking comments from me

Hey Jaypee, it’s working real good. It used to be 0 comments for most articles before using these two plugins. It’s improving a lot

Sorry Tinh, Akismet put your comment into the spam folder. Just dug it out. Wondering if there’s any other better anti-spam plugin with less false positive case.

I’m only using Akismet and nothing else. Do you have any recommendations? There are so many other anti-spam plugins out there I’m not sure how reliable they are.
How much better can they be when the one developed by WordPress themselves aren’t up to expectation?
It’s possible to use more than one anti-spam plugin alongside with each other?

CommentLuv allows your readers to do some free advertising just by participating. Because you have CommentLuv enabled on your blog, readers who see the badge have more reasons to be an active member of your blog. Oh yeah!

I am on CommentLuv Premium now, although I didn’t get the discount because the promo ended. Anyway, the best thing about this plugin is the 8-in-1 function. It increases quality comments plus spam blocking. CommentLuv Premium really works great.

My Blogger blog has stopped updating my feeds – it’s showing that I haven’t posted in a month on my friend’s blogrolls (I post several times a week!), Commentluv can’t connect to my last blog posts, some of my subscribers are not getting notified of updates, etc.
My hits are way down and it’s driving me crazy! Blogger’s user forum has been completely useless as far as help.
This just started four weeks ago. Before then, everything worked fine. I haven’t messed with any of my settings or HTML, so I don’t know what is going on.
Any suggestions, PLEASE?!?
Now going through the rest of the site. Thanks!
