Re:Show HN: Blog Wandering – Explore Blogs Visually on Tuesday February 05, 2019 @08:16AM (#19084973)
Blog Wandering is a free tool that allows a user to explore a blog visually: you choose a blog from which to start and you get a map composed of the author and of her/his commenters, then you can click on a commenter and open the map of her/his blog, if she/he owns one, and so on. Double clicking on a user opens a blog in a new tab, right clicking opens the gravatar profile. If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them!

Ask HN: GDPR, WordPress.com REST API and Gravatar

BlogFinder is a tool that lets you browse easily people who commented on a WordPress blog. Support for non WordPress.com blogs has been added.

I haven't found a list like this the net, so I thought it would be interesting to have one.

Blog User Browser lets you discover blog users by analyzing a blog and extracting a list of users that made a comment or liked a post.
Re:Show HN: Blog media viewer – view videos on blogs on Thursday May 11, 2017 @04:57PM (#14319445)
Blog media viewer lets you view the Youtube videos on Wordpress.com blogs. This allows you to check if the video is still there, too.
This tool is especially intended for blog owners who, on wordpress.com, cannot show their posts sorted by number of comments or number of likes, which I find interesting metrics.
Wordpress Post Navigator lets you view the posts of a blog hosted on Wordpress.com sorted by number of comments, number of likes, creation date. You can directly link the page with a blog domain as a parameter.
