<p>Commentracker is a script for managing your Distributed Conversations across the blogosphere. It means it is a way to save a local copy of all the comments you post on other blogs.</p>
<p>WordPress Commentracker integrates CommenTracker into WordPress and saves your comments into a category of your choice, taking advantatge of the advanced capabilities of WordPress as Blogging Platform (archives, themes, search engine, plugins…)</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Once the plugin is installed and the bookmarklet is saved on your web browser toolbar you just have to write a comment in any blog and before pressing the send button press the bookmarklet, fill the information required and your comment will be saved in your WordPress blog.</p>
<p>If you forgot to press the bookmarklet, don’t panic! Just add your comment trought the WorPress administration panel, write the comment, add the custom fields and post it!</p>
<p>If you do not wat the comments to apear in the front page you should consider use the MiniPosts plugin [  http://doocy.net/mini-posts/   ]</p>
