Lets grab the top 5 in the list, add them to the cache and set it to expire every hour. This will not cause much server load. One CURL request per hour is fine.

The page is also loaded via ajax, so when the cache does expire, we don't experience any page loading problems.

To get the cache we do

$cache = $this->getService('blog.cache');

[dragoonis]

This is where that service is defined.

Examples of using the cache: https://github.com/ppi/website/blob/master/modules/BlogModule/Controller/Blog.php#L49

Please make a class

./modules/BlogModule/Classes/RecentComments,

See how we do things here: https://github.com/ppi/website/tree/master/modules/Application/Classes

Hi @alfrekjv

There isn't a mustache template on the blog/index.html.php file to add it to the blog index.

Adding this. Thanks.
