I have added three new features to this blog in order to give people who comment a little extra back whenever they take some time and add a comment to my postings.
1. Remove nofollow on comments
We are using the plugin NoFollow Free by Michele Marcucci. That plugin removes the nofollow from author links in comments when a user has submitted x number of approved comments. On Front-End Book you must have 5 approved comments before the nofollow attribute is removed from author links.
2. Automagically add back link to commentors blog
CommentLuv by Andy Bailey lets you automagically add a link to posters last blog post if a feed is found on the site the athor of the comment has in its author link. We use CommentLuv on Front-End Book and when you comment and use an url where your blog is, CommentLuv will show last blog post.
3. Top list of commenters
To the right we are from today starting to list our best commenters with their name linked to their website and with the number of comments next to them.
Keep up the commenting!
Front-End Book is run and primarily written by Mattias Hising, an experienced Lead Developer from Uppsala, Sweden. I try to focus my efforts on Front-End related issues, as I find the problems to solve are more complex and interesting than the ones in traditional back-end development.
That’s great to hear! There’s also another plugin called KeywordLuv that is the same ‘family’ as CommentLuv.
