Hello,
I am trying to have a ranking of the highest "poster" for the blogs module to be listed on the front page...ranking I mean.
Is it possible to display the user list with the number of posts/submissions they have made on a list ? I thought this along with the views or workflow would somehow help me.
To clarify , I want it to be "This Months Highest Posters" in a box on the front page - reseting it manually or automatically every month.
Is it possible to do this with user karma somehow? meaning every post made gives the user a "point" for every node (blog post!) he submitted? and the person with the highest points gets ranked up the highest?
I really appreciate your help, Thank you in advance!
Note: If it is very simple and I have overlooked it then please forgive my ignorance, I cannot find it.

You could do that with a simple database query, PHP code in a block, or a custom module. Probably other ways too. But I'm not sure how actions fit in here; you should probably be asking this in the general forums, not in the actions module issue queue.

Yes, but I am a complete newb, and I am really in need for this.
I have tried and tried again, but I am not a PHP programmer nor am I able to develop modules.
Does anyone have an idea how?
Is there anywhere else where I can get help?

Try reading up about the Views module.
