Download FreePress Top Commenters Widget
Installation:
1. Extract all files in the archive into your plugins directory. The archive should contain a folder called “freepress”,
which should be placed directly under the plugins directory, and all the files distributed with this plugin should be in the “freepress” folder. For example: /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/freepress/topCommentersWidget.php
2. If you are using the widgets plugin, the tagboard will automatically appear as an available widget for your sidebar.
3. If you prefer to manually add the tagboard to your theme, you can insert the following code wherever you’d like the

tagboard to show up:

< ?php
if(function_exists(’fp_get_topcommenters’)) {
echo fp_get_topcommenters();
}
?>

If you wish to manually specify the arguments listed above, add them in the order listed. The number of people to list will default to 10, and the names to exclude will default to an empty array (which will include all commenters).

*Note: This version of the plugin has been tested in WordPress 2.x as well as recent versions of WordPress MU. Please let me know by commenting here if you run into any issues.
