Getting to know you better
by Vivien
I was pleasantly surprised today to find out that my RSS subscribers number reached 26. It’s been a month since I started this blog and I haven’t been promoting it too vigorously… not yet.
I would like to get to know my readers better. First of all, I’m very curious:
- How did you find out about this blog?
- What attracted you to subscribe to my RSS?
- What are your interests?
I’ve installed a couple of new plugins today to encourage the comments and discussions on my blog. We all know that it’s much more interesting and rewarding to have dialogs rather than monologues:
- Subscribe to Comments 2.1 plugin: There’s a checkbox in the comment area, if you check it, you’ll get email notification of further comments. This way you can come back and stay engaged in the dialog
- Show Top Commentators plugin displays the names of Top Commentators (see the sidebar), linked to their website (currently set on monthly basis) and number of comments they have made recently. This should motivate you to comment more and participate in the blog discussions.
- I’ve also installed Related Entries plugin which currently shows three “related” entries to the post based on keyword matching. This should make it easy to browse my blog and encourage the reading
Look forward to hearing from you all. Thank you, Vivien

I just saw one of your comments on another blog, I followed the link and here I am. I’m also a new blogger on the block, I started in August 2006 and I’m very pleased so far with the experience.

I have been looking for the right version of the Top Commentator plugin, is this one the default with the TC on the home page only or it this a modified version of the site wide one, I am a bit confused, sorry.
I also spent a long time searching under Top Commenter, not often I spell stuff right only to find the name being used is incorrect!

Hi Nitmix. This is the version of Top Commentator that I use on this blog. Hope this helps.
