It could use some less manual options for listing the popularity score at the bottom of the post. It would be nice to have say a plug-in that would display all the active plugins in use, for say posting on a Colophon like page... it should not be to hard to do from seeing how the plug-ins admin page lists stuff.

WPAutoColophon would be handy! I'd use it. I'm finding there is a LOT of noise in the Popularity Plugin's stats, since it seems to count bots as "views" so the stats of users vs. bots are lost. It would be really cool if it would only count stats for user-agents used by humans, and not bots. Thanks for the reminder to create a favicon.ico file! Took forever to figure out how to get Safari to show it, though. What a pain THAT was... Firefox Just Workedâ„¢, but I had to use an app called Safari Cache Cleaner to selectively remove the favicon cache for darcynorman.net - which is odd, because there WASN'T a favicon there before!
