How to change the number of comments
This widget is set to display 5 recent comments. If you want to change that number, just look for the number 5 in the code and replace it with the number of comments you want to be displayed. I recommend setting it between 4 and 8.
… a_rc=5;var m_rc=false;var n_rc=true;var…
How to change the number of characters (Excerpt)
This widget is set to display an excerpt of 100 characters of each comment. If you want to change that number, just look for the number 100 in the code and replace it with the number of characters you want to be displayed. *
n_rc=true;var o_rc=100;
*Recommended setting: 50 to 100.
How to display the date of comments
If you want to show the dates of comments, look for this line:
… a_rc=5;var m_rc=false;var n_rc=true;var…
and replace the false with true.

thanks alot..i already put to myblog thanks.
Great Widget. I saw something similar atthe daily tiffin and came looking here. Now, I’ve put it on my blog. It took but a moment to figure out how to get rid of the blog entry title.
I think it would be a useful enhancement to be able to get rid of the word “commented”. Maybe you could introduce yet another user-settable flag, in a backwards-compatable way.
if (p_rc) {document.write(‘commented’);}
Just a thought.
Thanks again
Thanks for this i have used it on http://www.sirigandha.com

Nice one… Going to put it on my blog ASAP.
Students will like it.
This widget worked like a charm since i installed it … until the last day or so when it began to show COMMENTS from back in March 2008. Is this a glitch that can be fixed on my side?
Any help you can provide would be appreciated!
Like the widget, but it shows comments from last year. How do I get it to show the MOST RECENT comments?
Thanks
Yep mine was working fine too but is now showing comments from a year ago. Whats up?
