   Tag** `<?php get_comment_leaders(); ?>` **Arguments Definition:**
    1. A number that limits the amount of records that are to be shown. (default’s ‘
       5’)
    2. A string that excludes certain names from appearing in the list. Separate multiple
       names with a comma.
    3. A number: pads the visitor’s total comment count with zeros.
    4. A string to display before the record.
    5.  A string to display after the record. (default is a line break ‘
       ‘)
    6. **Example**

 * Daisyhead, you would be correct. I don’t believe in popupwindows, so for me it
   isn’t a problem.
    As for your second query. Sure, you might need to go into the
   code, and add what ever HTML you want around it (like list itels (li tags) or
   line breaks (br tags). TG

 * I’ve tried tweaking the code to make my output look like this:
 * >  Jess – 184 total
   >  last commented: (date of last comment) on entry: (entry 
   > title last commented on w/link to entry)
 * But when I start messing with it, it throws errors. Can anyone cheat for me and
   post what the actual code would look like to get my output to look like what’s
   above? Pwetty pwease??
    Thanks, Daisyhead

 * I just tried both links in this thread for this script/plugin. Neither one worked.
   I wanted to add this to my blog. I was gonna try to come up with it myself, but
   if it’s already been done, then there’s no need to reinvent the wheel.
    If anyone
   can point me to the updated script/plugin, I’d be eternally greatful.

 * Hi,
    Pardon my ignorance, but is this a plugin or do I need to make a my-hacks.
   php file? Sorry for my lack of knowledge… Thanks.

 * Yes, I’m wondering if this is a hack file or a plugin to be used for 1.2. It 
   seems like a hack file. Will this be made into a plugin?
