 * Is it possible to list the most popular posts with title, date, # of comments
   without using a plugin or sidebar widget?
 * Any help is appreciated 🙂
 * Thanks in advance

 * Sure is possible. Big question is, what constitutes a ‘popular post’?

 * Michael, I would say how often the post is viewed/read 🙂 I could also go for
   the “# of comments” alternative, but I prefer the “# of views” method.
 * Do you know of any solution to this?
 * Thanks for your reply 🙂
