I use a combination of LJ Archive (which will give the ID number for a specific comment) and LJ Comment Stats. I have to tweak it a bit, but it's the easiest way I've found so far.

The two big tweaks I do are deleting myself (I'm always top commenter) and thereby renumbering the list, as well as changing the size of the bars. Thankfully, this one was easy and I didn't have to do any subtraction at all.

On the website generator, it gives a URL. Just pop in the comment ID where you want it to start counting in place of the very last zero and you're good to go.

LOL!

You know, it's funny... using Excel never even entered my mind, although it makes perfect sense. I'm glad I found the combination I did because it makes it so simple.

Well, it involves two programs and a little bit of cleanup, but I think if I didn't have the comment ID from LJ Archive, I'd want to pull out my hair. Last night had no math at all which was wonderful.

The previous time I did this, I had to do a little subtracting (ran the web stats twice to make it easier) and play around with the order and the images because of it. That was slightly more work.

I wish I could write a script that would allow me to plug in dates and just have it spit out what I want, you know?

Very true!! It's no surprise us being at the top of each other's stats... ;) We *both* have been very talkative lately.

LOL!

Actually, you're #12... ;) BUT, that's mostly because you haven't been online. Between being sick and moving and having no innernets, I'm not surprised.

Thanks!! I'm not dumping anyone based on comments, so no worries. :) Although... I do LOVE comments! ;)

LOL!! Hmm... you weren't preoccupied, were you? ;)

You'll be on at the end of the month for sure!

That's how I am. If everyone else has already said what I planned to say, I rarely bother to say it (unless it's something about which I feel very strongly). I'm usually just at the computer a lot lately. :(

LOL

I saw you did the stats. I read it on the phone but haven't had a chance to respond yet. I'm getting there...

I hope that works, because it made it so much easier for me. :)

LOL I know! ;) Big surprise, eh? Then again... if it weren't my journal, I'm sure I'd be right up there with them. :p

LOL!! Yay for friending frenzies!! ;)

LOL, that's a LOT of work!!

The top two tend to get chatty in comments... I don't even think they realize they're doing it most times. It's actually how I wound up friending louenn. We had gotten chatty in someone else's journal (billzy's, I think). It's been fun!

I am so bad about getting too chatty. i swear, I really have to keep myself in check or I get nothing done.... like today. ;)

LOL Now that's really bad. At least I'm at home. ;p~~~~

LOL I know how that goes! I actually have to force myself to get up to do the dishes when my inbox is full. I keep thinking I can just reply to one more comment. In the meantime my friends page is filling up with unread entries. You should have seen me at Christmas (you might have noticed it a little). I was stressing hardcore because i wasn't able to reply to comments and entries as much as I wanted. It was so painful!! ;)

There was so much going on this past Christmas and i didn't even leave town! Of course, I brought it all on myself. I love to bake and made little cookie trays for all the neighbors and various people from B's work.

When I'm out of town I usually read and post from my phone but don't comment on anything I've read. I always feel so guilty, but it's not often it happens.

Yeah, same here. I don't sit at the computer as often when B is home. He inspires me to not be lazy. ;)

That's not a bad deal, but there are too many things we both tend to do online that probably shouldn't be done at work (posting on craigslist, etc.). Usually if one is on the computer the other is as well, though. ;)

Oh yeah... we try not to do that. I know there are times when he just wants to play a game (usually it's on the ps2, but sometimes he wants to play Civ or something on the PC) and he knows there are times when I have found work to do online, but usually we're pretty good about it (or we're on the laptop in the same room while the other reads a magazine or something). I can be pretty bad if I'm not careful, though.

So polite. :)
