## Description

You’ve poured your heart and soul in to writing fascinating blog posts.  You know
you have a lot of readership, but nobody except your mom is leaving comments.  That’s
a bit discouraging right?  Entice your readers to leave comments by giving them 
a picture of a cute kitten in return.

Just prior to the comment form coming in to view, an unobtrusive panel will be displayed
with a short message that says: “Your comments make us happy.  Leave a comment, 
get a kitten!”

 

When a comment is submitted, a picture of an adorable kitten is displayed in a modal
window.

Caveats:

This plugin assumes that your comment form is A) built with the ‘comment_form’ WordPress
function and B) that your comment form has an id of “commentform” (This is the WordPress
default, but your theme developer may have changed the behavior for whatever reason.

This plugin assumes that comment forms only appear on single posts and only loads
the code when a single post (or page) is loaded.  

### Other Information

I created this plugin for my own amusement and am offering it for you to use as 
you wish.  If you find it useful but would like more features, please do ask.

## Installation

Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory
of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

## FAQ

What are the known limitations?

As of right now, there are several:

 1. This plugin assumes that the comment form has an id of “commentform”, which is 
    the WordPress default, but if your theme overrides that then this plugin isn’t 
    going to do anything for you.  There are plans to remedy this, but I won’t go to
    the trouble unless you ask for it.
 2. There hasn’t been much consideration given to they styling of the modal display.
    It may not work very well with your theme.
 3. There is absolutely no customization options nor settings for this plugin.  If 
    you need options, please ask and I will do my best to implement that.
