Actually there isn't a single time where a little Luv doesn't work for me. Love always works. Even when Southwest Airlines shows me some luv with their birthday cards, it works for me. Do any of you get those personalized, thoughtful gems on your birthday?
So this week, I'm in love with CommentLuv. It is the coolest application. When someone leaves a comment on my blog, as they are typing, CommentLuv searches their feed for the lastest post and displays it with their name, in my comment box. Readers can then click straight over to that author's post. It's a great way to drive more traffic to your blog, and that always works for me.
It used to only work for Wordpress blogs, but as of this week there is an application for my favorite host, Typepad, as well as several other hosts. What I really appreciate is the easy to understand, step by step instruction video on how to install CommentLuv.
So I ask you, who couldn't use a little love in these hard times? Share the luv by leaving me a comment and then head over to Rocks In My Dryer to share a little more!
Sound like an interesting gadget

I've seen this quite a bit on various blogs. I would love to have this as part of my comment section. I wonder if they have something like this for blogger?

There is a lot of LUV going on right now lol. Thanks for sharing this. I'm pretty elementary when it comes to technical blog stuff lol.

I see it's retrieving the last post but the links aren't showing as links, you need to allow html in comments for it to show the links properly. below is only the title of the post.

My friend's blog (On Wordpress) has been using comment luv for a long time & I love it. I'm just waiting for them to work it out with blogger. Might be a long wait.
