I've been noticing on more and more WP blogs that they have this feature. When someone posts a comment, it adds an extra link to their latest blog entry.
Has anyone here already done something similar or is anyone working on it?
Do we have anything similar to CommentLuv?

Re: Do we have anything similar to CommentLuv?
Hi!
Okay, I googled for it myself. CommentLuv is something that simply displays the most recent post on the blog of a commenting person within that person's comment. According to that plugins it "is a nice way to reward commenters".
Personally I don't find so much use in it. Performance-wise it's a killer because recent postings have to be fetched over and over again, adding a lot of traffic to both your site and the commenting person's page.
It can definitely be done, and I'd of course appreciate if someone wants to approach it. But there's definitely heavy caching involved which should not be dealt with carelessly. I myself don't see that much use in it, so I can't offer you to code that for free.
Best regards,
Garvin

I didn't realize that this conversation had gone any further. Taking a snapshot in many ways seems better anyway. How many great blog posts are simply buried and gain no backlinks or traffic with time?
Would it work as a plugin where once installed it explains which files need to be updated to make the information display? Some of the other templates already say to make changes edit xxx.tpl. Why couldn't that be expanded to add this code to this template sort of thing?
