    Top Commentators Widget for Blogger / Blogspot with Advanced Features

    Blogger has always lacked a Top Commentators Widget which would encourage the readers to leave useful comments on your blog. This blogger widget will display a list of your top commentators.Here i have used a yahoo pipe to implement the same. Thanks to Google system for providing us with a wonderful yahoo pipe.
    This widget has some additional features unlike other 'Top Commentor Widgets'.This allows you to filter out the blog author's name from the top commentators list. You can filter out as many names as you want by using the filtering option in the widget installer(the filters should be separated by commas). So if you don't want to list 'Anonymous' in your top commentator list then just use it in the filter field. Another feature of this widget is that users can navigate to the commentator's profile or site by clicking on his name in the list.

    You can also set the number of Top commentators that you want to display.You can see a demo of the widget here.

    How to Install the Top Commentators Widget For Blogger

    Just use any of the Widget installers provided here. Provide your blog URL(in place of www.bloggerplugins.org ) in the Blog url: field of the widget installer.You can also set the number of commentators to be displayed and you can add the names to be filtered out. If multiple names are to be filtered out, then separate then using commas. Click Customize and then hit the Add Widget to Blog Button.


    1) Widget Based On Recent 500 Comments.This will judge the top commentators from the latest 500 comments to your blog.

    Add Top Commentators Widget to Blog


    2) Widget Based On Recent 5000 Comments.This will judge the top commentators from the latest 5000 comments to your blog.This widget is only needed if your blog has high density of comment.I mean if you have more than 500 comments on your blog you can use this one..

    Add Top Commentators Widget to Blog


    Note:-Install the second widget only and only if your blog has lots and lots of comments.Else you should opt for the first one..

    Credits:-
    1)The pipe for the first widget is inspired from Assess My Blog
    2)The pipe for the first widget is inspired from complicated yahoo pipe by Google System

    Please leave your opinions on the widget and help me in spreading this widget to the blogosphere.. Note: If you are reading this in a Feed Reader the widget installer wont be displayed properly.So visit the actual article on the site to install the widget.

    Make Spiders to follow your comment

    By default blogspot templates make the urls in the comment fiedls as no follow.Means search engines wont follow these links.In my blog the comments field is followed.Means you will get inlinks to your blog(which are followed by search engines).This may encourage commentors to comment on your blog.So if interested you can comment on my blog.Spammers please dont hurt me..

    Ok now i should tell you how to implement the do follow attribute in your blog
    As i always say open up your template html.

    <a expr:href='data:comment.authorUrl' rel='nofollow'<data:comment.author/></a>

    Delete the one in Bold and you are done..

    I suggest you to remove all the rel='nofollow' tags in your template so that you can make sure of it..

    I have removed all the nofollow tags in my blog template..So comment on.I am waiting for yours.Any suggestions questions or anything will do..
    Update: The comments here are no longer DO FOLLOW

    Adding Video to Blogger

    adding-video-to-blogger

    Videos and images can help you in improving your Blog Posts. There are many methods of adding a video to your blogger post. There are millions of videos available on YouTube. If you look at the right side of every YouTube page you will see an embed code. add-video-to-blogger

    Copy out this Embed  Code into you blogger post editor and paste in into your blog post. Now when you publish the post you would be able to see the video in your blog post.

    If you have a video on your computer, and you need to get it into a blog post, then you can upload the video right from  your post editor. The video should be in one of the permissible formats and should be below 100 Mega Bytes in size.

    If you don't prefer to upload your video via blogger, then you can upload it at YouTube Meta Cafe or some other video sharing sites and then use their video embed code within the post.

    The blogger help group has made an simple and easy video tutorial about adding videos on Blogger Blogs. You will get a better idea if you take a look at their Video Tutorial. I have embedded the video into this blog post. :)
