Transparency, Why Aren’t Blogs Transparent

I really enjoy being transparent, which is why I want my blog, your blog and all forums including Zillow, Redfin and the like to be just that, transparent. I think it is time to pin the ip address to every comment and I’m challenging everyone to do jus that.

I’m on the march today for that very plugin.

UPDATE: Donovan whipped this up in a matter of a millisecond- hat tip! Be sure to check out Newblogger.net while you’re there, it’s great stuff!

This works like a charm!

You can use the following PHP to display the comment author’s IP address:

<?php comment_author_IP(); ?>

Just insert this code anywhere in the comment loop in your comments.php file.

I added this code directly after the <?php comment_author_link() ?> and enclosed it in parenthesis like this:

(<?php comment_author_IP(); ?>)
