   I'm looking for a way to allow my users to browse my blog by most commented posts. Googling for it led to nothing really.

   I'm guessing I would need to hook the redirecting functions, add support for a canonical tag like /by-comment/, but really I don't know where to start from.

   Any ideas?

   TIA

   interested in a plugin at all?

   I use:
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/most-commented/
   but rather than widget I use it in my archive template

   which works with this bit of code:
   

   <?php if( function_exists('mdv_most_commented') ) : ?>
   
   					<h6><?php _e( 'Most Commented Posts', 'voodoo_lion' ); ?></h6>
   					<ul>
   					<?php mdv_most_commented(10); ?>
   					</ul>
   
   					<?php endif; ?>

   to show my ten most commented post titles....

   You could do this using WP_Query to create a query ordered by comment count.

   Example
   

   <?php
   $most_comments_posts = new WP_Query;
   $most_comments_posts->query( array(
   	'posts_per_page' => 10,
   	'orderby' => 'comment_count',
   	'order' => 'desc'
   ) );
   
   if( $most_comments_posts->have_posts() ) :
   	while( $most_comments_posts->have_posts() ) :
   	?>
   
   	<!-- example html area -->
   	<div class="example">
   
   	<?php
   	// Like a regular loop, you can place the various template tags here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags
   	the_title(); // Example
   	?>
   
   	</div>
   	<!-- example html area -->
   
   	<?php
   	endwhile; // End loop
   endif; // End if loop has posts
   ?>
