29 Dec 08 My WordPress upgrade to 2.7 – CommentLuv Plugins

I’ve been standardising my WordPress plugins after upgrading to WordPress 2.7 and reading this great article from a friend of mine, but found they missed one that I love – a plugin called CommentLuv which extracts the latest blog post of the commenter and links it in with his comment automatically.

What the CommentLuv Plugin Does

When a site visitor leaves comments on a blog, the commenter has the option of putting in a URL which is then linked with his name when the comment is submitted. What the CommentLuv plugin does is look for a blog feed in that URL and if it finds one it extracts the latest post from that feed and links to it as a footer to the original comment.

The CommentLuv plugin encourages comments from visitors, as it gives the commenter a link with every post and it’s a very visible link which other readers will see.

Example:

What’s even better, this plugin works under WordPress 2.7.
