There are more than 600 posts on this site and hundreds of comments. I’d like to build on this so I’ve added some new features to Bad Language:
- A Popular Posts page that shows the top five posts in each category. It updates automatically, to reflect the latest visitor stats.
- Improved social bookmarking. If you like a post, please Digg, Tweet, Stumble, Reddit, Google Buzz or just get yourself a BadLanguage.net tattoo.
- Comment improvements. When you add a comment, you can automatically add your latest blog post and preview your comments in real time.
- Top commenters. I’ve added a widget that shows the site’s top commenters with a link to their blog.
There are more improvements coming soon; but for the moment check out the popular posts page and the other new stuff and let me know what you think.

Lovely work on the new features, Matthew! May I ask how did you implement the popular posts page? Is there a WordPress plug-in for that or is it a Thesis theme feature?
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Thanks. Glad you like the new stuff. The popular posts page is a custom-written plugin specially for my sites. It’s not part of Thesis.

Watching closely as I get ready to do an update/redesign myself. Thanks for sharing what you’re about.

Hi Anne, I’ll try to post more about the work I’m doing on the site. There are more changes in the pipeline!
Not going to lie to you… I found this site by googling ” comment love blogs”
so yeah… I was looking for a link haha…. But I just wanted to let you know that the features you added are pretty sweet. I’m glad I stumbled across this post… You have a lot of good articles on blogging and writing and what not… This is something I lack 
(which is pretty sad since I’m a college student coming up on graduation soon)… But yeah… keep blogging 
.
P.S: you’ll probably seem me on another post… Looking at that “writing seminar” your offering
