As regular readers will know, we elves like lists and data. On Monday, we posted a “Titusonenine Top Ten<\/b><\/a>” list to help those still trying to learn their way around the new blog have an easy way to find the posts that are generating the most comments. (One wag said since this is “T19” it should be a “top nine list!” We might just do that in the future…!)<\/p>\n

So, how did we come up with that list? Is it just elfin magic? Or can regular readers quickly see what threads are being hotly discussed?<\/b> Read on! With the new advanced search features here, you too can be an elf!<\/p>\n

Here is how to search the blog for the posts with the most comments yourself, using the Advanced Search<\/b> feature.<\/p>\n

1. Go into Advanced Search<\/a> (up at the top right near the search box and calendar)
\n2. For the broadest search possible, enter “the<\/b>” as your keyword (you can of course limit to some keyword of your choosing, e.g. Anglican).
\n3. Choose: Search on Titles, Entries and Comments<\/b> in the pull down menu to make sure you’ll get all posts
\n4. Choose: Titusonenine<\/b> in the blog selection menu
\n5. Choose: Any Category<\/b> to search on ALL categories. Or limit to the category \/ categories of your choice. (Yes you can select MULTIPLE categories)
\n6. Finally, over on the far right choose: “Sort Results By: MOST COMMENTS<\/b>”<\/p>\n

This will give you a list of posts with the most comments EVER (assuming you’ve not limited your search by keyword or category).<\/p>\n

You could also limit the date range<\/b> of your search, example “today and newer” or “this week and newer.” Try it out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
