    Does anyone know if there is a way to calculate who are the most frequent commenters on your blog?

    at the moment, i don’t think there’s anything for that. you would have to do it manually through the comments section in dashboard. type a commenter’s name in the search box and see how many comes up.

    The commenter’s names are in the export file.

    You could download the export file (the .xml) and use a text editor’s built in tools to search. Or if you know perl or python or some other scripting language it seems it would be a pretty simple thing to do (says the girl who is struggling with ruby so feel free to ignore me).

    I gave it a quick go just using cat and grep (in Linux but you should be able to do it in cygwin too) a commenter’s name and it sort of works.

    Maybe I’ll make this a project for the weekend :-)
