Hi Armen I have just emailed you the code for Show Top Commentators which is in my sidebar, and the Show top commentators plugin, I hope this helps. If not I suggest you post a question in Kevin's forum at Blogging tips Forum I'm sure he will be able to help you.

I found this site through David Airey, and it appears you had the same problem I have. Could you give me the solution to getting the Top Commentators plugin to work? I am using a Brian Gardner theme too, and as much as I love the theme, I just can’t get this plugin to work.

Hi Deborah, Thanks for commenting and for the link, I will have a read up a bit about it on your site and join in. It’s weird because I had just posted a question about Technorati in Kevin’s forum as I wasn’t quite sure how it worked. I notice you are in Edmonton, I have relatives in Grande Cache – in the Rocky Mountains, not to far from you in Canadian miles, its a small world!

Kevin, thanks for you comments and again for your help, you will be sick of my questions in your forum soon!

ses5909 Welcome to my blog and thanks for commenting. Like you say Sitepoint is a great place for help, I hope one day to be able to answer more questions than I ask! My user name is TR123 (original eh!). I have just checked out your site, I think I may be able to learn some CSS there.

You’re so right Tara. I frequently am surprised myself and once you experience that generosity, you want to give it back and help others. I went to sitepoint over 4 years ago and am still there every day

What’s your username there?

[...] Help from a Stranger – I helped Tara from Graphic Design Blog with some css problems she was having on her sidebar. She then posted about the help she has had through discussion forums. An absolutely amazing post – but im completely biased because she recommended Blogging Tips haha [...]

great post tara (though im biased because you mentioned me!;) )

from my own point of view, i always try and help people out if i have time. So many people have helped me over the years so its good to give a little back (cheesy but true).

And as i said, you think your ok with something until you try and explain it or help someone else with it – i find it helps me improve my own skills in that respect. im not a css expert and trying to figure out what was wrong with your theme helped me understand css a bit more.

i think bloggers should try and help out each other when they can. sure we’re all fighting for traffic and readers – but you and your blog will do a lot better by being positive instead of negative.

I saw your post on David Airy’s site that you’ve joined the Do Follow movement, and I see that you’re using it.

I recently wrote a post on the DO Follow movement in attempt to encourage others to follow suit.

I’ve added your blog to the list of Bloggers using DO Follow with link to your home page here:

The post for this is also on my blogroll so it doesn’t get buried in the archives.

Cheers!
