Liz Strauss Comment Counter is a highly configurable badge (very similar to the Feedburner one, except it’s more configurable) to show off the number of comments your blog has.
This plugin was made in celebration of <a href="http://www.successful-blog.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Liz Strauss</a> dedication to blog community building so you, too, can show the world how social your blog is.

Liz Comment Counter by Ozh

A highly configurable badge to show off the number of comments your blog has.

This fun plugin just replaces the “Excerpt” meta-box with something more meaningful for the Modern Redditor.
Oh, also, it’s a neat example of custom string replacement using a filter over gettext 🙂
