The import worked beautifully. Gorgeous! So much of the conversation about a blog post now takes place in places other than on the blog itself; it's really great to be able to show those conversations on my blog. Also, if you're taking feature requests, I'd like a trackback counter in the comments summary. On this post of mine, for instance, there are 61 responses, 53 of which are from Twitter & 3 of which are from "Other Sites" (actually they're comments on my own blog) -- the 5 trackbacks don't show up: http://amandafrench.net/2009/12/30/make-10-louder/ Of course, now I've added another trackback, so that'll be trackbacks that don't show up in the summary. :) Just want to say I love this plugin — it does exactly what I wanted it to do.

I explain myself : On my blog, as soon as I post a new note, there is an automatic twitter update with a link to my note. So in the minute, Backtype is importing that tweet into my comments. For every note, it's the same. First comment on each post is my tweet. It's pretty annoying :s Thanks for reading Hi Christopher,

Very nice. My blog is in Hebrew, so it's a right-to-left theme. There are some issues with BackType formatting (not to mention the option to translate the texts). (I've already posted about the translation issue in another post). Specifically, the top links specifying the number of comments get mixed up in RTL. Take a look at this capture - http://zarim.net/images/backtype.jpg It looks like it says "Tweets 4 Other Comments 2" but actually the "2" is part of the Tweets link and the "4" is for the comments.
