How do I….
See how many comments are on a specific post on my own blog?
In WordPress, its easy to see all the comments on a single post and they are even numbered for you.
- Simply login to your administrators page/dashboard,
- Click “Manage” You’ll see a list of all your posts.
- Click the number under the “comments” column that corresponds to the post you are interested in.
- Voila!
How is this useful?
If you remember that a specific post has a comment you’re looking for this can be faster than using the search function under “comments”.
And if you run blog contests that require entrants to leave a post, this is the easiest way to pick a winner. Simply note the number of comments there are and have someone special choose a number between 1 and that number. That commenter will win!
Much less work that printing out the comments and having a drawing–and still random since you will choose someone who hasn’t memorized or even looked at the comments on your blog, right?
Hope that helps!
