top commenters script

Well, I finally got to do some coding that I have been wanting to do. Though, I was up till two in the morning doing it. I have added a PHP script on the left side of my main blog page. It is under the section ?Top Commenters?. The script pulls back the top twenty commenters that have URLs. It does not list the commenter that only leaves their e-mail address. It is not a perfect script. I would get into more detail, but I am not up for blogging about its idiosyncrasies. Let me know if you want a copy? Posted by gid at January 9, 2005 03:21 PM

Good way to guilt people into commenting on the blog. :D

I like the idea too. The only thing that I could see as a problem is it took about 20 seconds to load on my browser. Do you think there is anyway to update the stats when a comment is added and prerender the results like movable type prerenders the pages?

Anyway, nice job Gid!!!!

It took 20 seconds? I loads in less than a second for me. That is very strainge. Oh I know what it might be. If you are viewing this page from home for the first time in a while, then maybe it took a while to load all the pictures. I counted 10 pictures on the page, and a few of them are a bit large. Try loading the page agian and see if it takes as long the next time.
