Frequently asked questions.
What is the purpose of this widget?
While I thought a widget like this was very common, I had trouble finding one for my blog. That led me to create this basic widget that simply displays a link to the top commented posts. You can customize the title, number of posts, and whether you want to display the comment count.
Is it configurable?
Sure. Have a look at the options in the widget configuration panel.
Can I only show posts from a single category if I want?
Yes. As of version 1.3, more control is available for categories. You can select a single category for the links, or exclude a single category. All options are available from the widget configuration panel.
Show comment count
Display the number of comments associated with the post beside the link.
