In “show_top_ranked” add p.post_excerpt (to the SELECT-list), and title=”‘.$post->post_excerpt.’” to the link.

screenshots of the plugin on your site with bits of explanation would be nice, surfing the web for it or the forum takes ages and if you like to try it, wouldn’t it be nice to know beforehand how it looks?
ps respect for the effort anyway.
You can see it in action right here – popularity is shown per post, and there is a contextual “most popular” section in the sidebar.
Interesting plug-in. I will definitely give it a try.
