This plugin allows you to display how many replies your micro.blog posts have - it’s a vanity metric, nothing more.

SetUp

You can install the plugin from the plugins page, or feel free to get it from Github by clicking design, edit theme, and then add new plugin.

Call the plugin anything you wish, copy in the URL from the Github page, and click Add Plugin.

Add Partial

Add the partial to the place you wish this to show, for example this may go in the meta information for the post. This can be used in a single post, or in a loop of posts. Each reply count is place in a unique div element so feel free to experiment.

Simply add { partial "replycount.html" . }} to your page and the number of replies to that specific post will appear.

Styling

You can style the block however you like using the class replies. The count number itself sits inside an inline-block class reply_count.

Config

To aid styling you can add in your own emoji to appear before the number, as well as your own text to appear afterwards. If thats not your thing then either options can be toggled on/off in the plugin settings.
