 * I’m looking for some sort of a stats hack/plugin that just displays the total
   number of posts, comments and trackbacks in the sidebar menu. Anything similar
   around? Thank you pretty people!

 * Couldn’t find it 🙁 Most stats plugins are full-page with loads of info. I’m 
   looking for a simple one here.

 * I actually just modified the comment count one from [http://mtdewvirus.com/wp-hacks/](http://mtdewvirus.com/wp-hacks/)
   
   I went into the comment-count.php file and added the following: `AND comment_content
   NOT LIKE ('%<trackback />%')` after `$request = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $tablecomments
   WHERE comment_approved = '1'` to get just a count of just the comments (because
   before it counted both the comments and trackbacks). Then I copied all of the
   code to a new file and renamed it **trackback-count.php**. I removed the **NOT**
   in the code I posted above. And I renamed the function to get_trackback_count.
   I then called the function by `<?php get_trackback_count(); ?>` If this post 
   doesn’t make sense (I don’t make sense from time to time … LOL), let me know 
   and I’ll post the hacks I did to the 2 files on my website and link them here.
   I haven’t done that yet because I’m not done setting it up yet.

 * I’ve been trying to modify the comment_plugger to add a comma between each commenter,
   but I cannot figure it out. I went by your read me file and added the $sep to
   the first line to make it like this:
    `function comment_plugger($before = ' -',
   $limit = 14, $sep = ' - ') {` but that didn’t work. Can you give me a clue what
   I should add, where? Thanks.
