I have to admit that over the years that I’ve been blogging I have become a big fan of CommentLuv and have had it on this blog since the very first day, yes folks I love it that much.

Recently Andy Bailey came up with CommentLuv Premium, so I jumped at the chance of getting my blogging hands on the latest incarnation of what has become one of the most popular plugins for any WordPress powered blog in the blogosphere.

First of all I have to admit that I am a long time reader of We Blog Better and though I don’t really comment there as much as I really should do, that doesn’t go to say that I’m not impressed with the overall feel, design and knowledge that the blog produces in its blog posts.

We Blog Better is run by Keisha Easley and that has a talent for finding post that the readers of the blog are captivated to, the blogs main aim is to help us all blog better, hence the title of the blog and believe me when I say it certainly does. What many people may not now is that the blog was originally started by Brandon Cox, a name which seasoned bloggers will no doubt know.

I’ve been an avid reader of @ExtremeJohn’s blog since I started Blazing Minds nearly three years ago and one thing I have to say before I start is that his blog is one of those that is full of information, not only business, but also social media and much more.

Over the time that I have read his blog, I’ve learnt several things to do with WordPress and also discovered some rather useful WordPress Plugins that have helped with my blogging endeavours over the years.

A lot of you who follow me around the net will have seen the Guest Post I wrote on CommentLuv titled “Keep An Eye On Those WordPress Plugins“, shortly after this I came back to the blog and started work tweaking it to help improve its performance.

Those of you that do read the blog a lot will have noticed some changes to some areas on the blog.

For starters, I’ve removed the toolbar, although this was CPU hungry it did make the blog a fraction slower, so now I have opted for the social buttons to continue in the “author bio” at the bottom of a post.

Also WP125 has been removed, as this can all be done without a plugin, why have a plugin when you can do it yourself just as easily
