Through my random surfing, I ran across a really great idea for a Wordpress plugin that allows commenters who have a blog to have their most recent post linked to into their article. The plugin is called CommentLuv and it is worth a serious look for all you Wordpress bloggers.
Now, I know some of you may be seeing a similarity in the naming of this plugin to my Comment Love project. I, myself, am not going to start jumping to conclusions just because the name is similar. Frankly, even if the guy did get the name of the plugin from Comment Love project, I could frankly care less. The idea to me is much more important than the branding – and the idea is both unique and extremely beneficial. I applaud this project and I will definitely be implementing it here on Some Random Dude as an addition to the Comment Love donation-giving. So now you will be getting a little linkage to go along with that fuzzy feeling in your heart when you contribute to an article’s discussion.
I highly encourage my fellow bloggers to check out this plugin to possible add it to their blog to spread a little more love/luv across the internet.
CommentLuv (Quietly) Implemented

To go along with the Comment Love program, I have tried to add a bit more incentive for commenting. Last week, I implemented the CommentLuv plugin. I must say, the whole thing took no time at all – it was quite a breeze. There are so many ideas and pieces of functionality that I would like to implement on this site, but when I do not even have enough time to write real articles, I have a hard time trying to bite off anything of that scale. Still, slowly but surely, I am trying to add pieces to increase participation.
There is going to be a special month of Comment Love coming up, so I hope this extra addition will help stir up conversation.
