Default Question about WordPress Plugin - Popular Posts

A quick question for the techies here....

Which WordPress plugin would you suggest to use on a blog to indicate the, 'Most Popular Posts' in the sidebar?

Any feedback would be helpful. Thank-you.

I was going to say you can do it within the "Presentation" section - there's a widget you can add to the sidebar with "Top Posts" but then I realised you might well be using the wordpress software but not actually writing on their site. I don't know if it applies in the same way.

Depends on what you mean by "most popular posts", you could just create a widget with the ones that have the most comments, views, etc. and add them personally.

Or else you could just check out one of these plugins:

I use the WP-PostViews plugin to show how many views each page has. I then have my 'Popular Posts' listed in my sidebar, based on how many views the page has. See it in action at my ITsVISTA site.
