History

Showing your top ranked posts in the sidebar is always a good idea, but the widgets doing so don’t play nicely with the qTranslate plugin for multilingual sites. I wrote a small widget to fix this, so now you can display top-posts in full multilingual glory right in your sidebar.

Recently qTop gained more and more functions to make the display of top-sites more detailed and interesting. It is now a highly practical plugin even for pages that don’t use multiple languages.
