## Description

This new template tag generates a list of registered users. The post author and 
users who have commented on the post are crossed off the list; any users who have
not yet commented are left alone.

Options:

 * exclude the admin user
 * choose the minimum user role to be show in the list (e.g. Contributor, Author,
   etc.)
 * sort the list by user ID, display name, first name, last name, or login
 * choose the categories in which to show the list

This plugin requires PHP 5.10.

## Installation

Installation is pretty standard:

i.e.

 1. Upload `comment-author-checklist.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Place `<?php if (function_exists('show_comment_author_checklist')) show_comment_author_checklist();?
    >` _inside the Loop_ in the template file of your choice (usually single.php).

Example: `<?php the_content(); ?>`

## FAQ

#### I can’t get the plugin to show anything.
