rahul,

I like bloggers to reply to my comments, and I enjoy “chatting” with my readers.

You have many commenters because you take care to reply all the comments.

Patricia,

I’m not sure if the Top Commenters plugin is incompatible with my theme or what, but I have never been able to get it to work.

However, as far as I can tell (not sure since it’s never worked—I can’t get a widget on my sidebar at all), it lists at most 15 to 25 commenters. I’m not sure if it can be set to exclude my replies or not. I reply individually to every comment, so I wouldn’t want my comments included.

At any rate, I want to recognize all my commenters, usually 200+ each month, and I don’t think the plugin would show them all. If it did, I wouldn’t want that long list on my sidebar.

But thanks for the suggestion.

To see how I compile the list, see this post: http://lillieammann.com/2009/06/19/compiling-thanks-to-commenters/.

Not sure about how Lillie does it but there is a plugin called top commenters widget you can use to generate a similar list in your blog’s sidebar (it is as easy as any drag-n-drop widget). I use it on many of my blogs and ever since I have started using it my blog traffic and commenting has definitely increased!

bralynn,

Giving credit where credit is due is a good way of saying it.
