Optional settings:
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.

It seems that my ‘comments feed’ on Blogger has some sort of limitation once you hit 5000 comments. It appears to be a fix that Google/Blogger need to make…
