I’m a huge fan of Lester Chan’s Plugins. As for the benefit of using the Comment Counter Chicklet, it adds an almost subliminal impact on the visitor when they see it, which can’t be bad if you want your site to be a social one.

What I found really interesting about the counter is that Ozh added the stats to tell you the ratio of comments to blog posts. That’s information I hadn’t found elsewhere that may prove to be useful.

It’s for fun anyway. Have fun with it and see what your readers say and what you learn from the experience.

Just a note to say that though I’m sure Ozh has some great plugins (I’ve never used any on that list and my list of plugins is a long one), I found Gamerz WP-Stats most useful, it’s been around for years, and one of the first items on the stats page is both post and comment count. I never give much weight to comment count, though, I give weight to comment content and back end conversation. That’s what makes a dedicated reader – and some would rather have a dedicated reader than someone who just fly’s by and tosses in 2 cents along the way.

Just a personal blog perspective – I’m no pro blogger and don’t aim to be.

Are you talking to the WordPress Plugin authors? Then you need to contact them directly. This is just an announcement. Thank you.

that is not a good way to use gwt, as you did not abstract yourself from html, but is just writing “html” in java.

what you could do is instead define two more widgets – one widget for the collapsed state view, and another for the open state view. how you implement these widgets is up to you, but i would just have another table in there.

then, in each cell of the flex-table you would add in the correct widget when the click happens.

that way, you dont get bogged down in the click handler with table manipulation code.
