Recent Comments Plugin

Yesterday, I modified the recent comments plugin (by Nick Momrik) for WordPress. I had been using it with the default parameters and earlier this week I wrote a couple of entries where I linked internally to a number of entries. The internal pingbacks occupied most of the list.

The new version is backward compatible (i.e. if you replace Nick’s version with this one and make no changes to your template, it will produce the same results as Nick’s). The functionality I have added is the option to exclude pingbacks (and trackbacks) and/or comments you have left in your own blog from the recent comments list. I have included instructions for usage in the comments at the top of the plugin.

You can download the plugin here.
