Comment Prompt/Reminder Plugin

Just a quick note to say I have finished and zipped up my Wordpress plugin to encourage visitors to comment. The plugin displays a message to visitors who haven't commented after a certain number of visits. The whole thing is customisable from position to the message as well as when you want to start the nagging!

If your interested then visit the Comment Prompt download page and let me know what you think. It's running on this site at the 12 page view mark and is located at the end of posts.

thanks t. hoping to create a wordpress driven site for our new domain, africanbass.co.za. will probably use this plugin. one thing though, the sums you give for spam protection are sometimes very hard. could you not stick to 1 + one? thanks!

@Jansie I did once have a plan to make people solve simple logic puzzles but when I user tested my idea I realised that my concept of simple needed adjusting. I am playing with maths puzzles so expect them to change slightly to include a few more complex 1+4-2 = style ones in there just for added fun!

Hope both of you enjoy the plugin, I think the idea is pretty sound but would love to hear other peoples views, the plugin was born out of desire to encourage more discussion on this blog in particular. Though perhaps setting the number of visits so high mean few will see it.

Hey Tim, neat idea for a plugin. I’m going to have a look at it for my blog.
