Folks may not know that anyone and everyone can send in top comments. The great crew that keeps those diaries going are always happy to have more nominations. Over the years I've refined the technique for sending them in, and now it is almost as easy as thinking of doing it. It just takes three steps the first time, and two steps after that.
Add the top comments address to your email address book
Their address is <topcomments@gmail.com>. This only needs to be done once.
Open the top-worthy comment in a new tab
The date on a comment is a link to the comment and all its children. Use that date to open the comment in a new tab (this trick can be handy in comment-heavy diaries, too).
Use your browser to send the tab with the comment to Top Comments
Exactly where that mail button is will vary with browsers. Most have some kind of built in mail capability, and all let you add variants. It's useful for lots of things, so if you can't mail a tab yet add that as an extension. Because you added the address to your address book, the mail program will suggest the full address after two or three letters.
It's kindly to include a little info about why you think a comment is top worthy, and if you include your screen name they can credit the submission to you.
Happy top commenting!
