It is therefore very important to know which are the most active users of your blog, the users who leave more comments, and for this reason, today I present a great method to display a list with the top commentators.
The gadget will look something like this
Top Commentators Widget With Avatar For Blogger 2014
1. To add this gadget, you have to go to Layout, click on Add a Gadget link.
2. Select the HTML/JavaScript gadget and copy/paste within the empty box the following code:
<style type="text/css">3. Now you just have to save changes and you're done!
.top-commentators {
margin: 3px 0;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #ccc;
}
.avatar-top-commentators {
vertical-align:middle;
border-radius: 30px;
}
.top-commentators .commenter-link-name {
padding-left:0;
}
</style>

Configuration
- To modify the number of users displayed in the gadget, look for var maxTopCommenters = 8; and change 8 with any number you want.- To change the avatar size of the commenters, look for var sizeAvatar = 33; and change number 33 with the number of pixels you want.
- To hide your name or some other username, replace the someotherusertoexclude text between the quotes (to add more, add another comma after the text in red, then type the username you want to exclude between the quotes)
