    Have you considered adding a title to the top_ranked-list links? Such as <a href=”blah” title=”blah”>
    I tried for my blog (because I installed FancyTooltips), and the code is quite easy:
    In “show_top_ranked” add p.post_excerpt (to the SELECT-list), and title=”‘.$post->post_excerpt.’” to the link.

    [...] I’ve made a few modifications today to fix some things that bugged me for a little while. First, I was looking for a way to change the ranking that showed on the sidebar, from the All Times High to what happened in the last 30 days. I’m using Alex King’s Popularity Contest plugin, and found this gem he posted to the WordPress support discussions, so that I can show the most popular ports in the last n days to my frontpage… [...]

    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?

    You can see it in action right here – popularity is shown per post, and there is a contextual “most popular” section in the sidebar.
