If you change ‘posts’ to ‘comments’ you can view Recent Comments. Good idea either way. I never thought to do it this way. Kudos

Dang. I totally lost contact with you, dude! Where’d I go? Where’d you go? Anyhoo, love the post. So glad I stopped by.

I followed the instructions. All went well. Hope I didn’t make too much noise and wake you. It’s late you see. Now I want to do the most recent comments one. They’re usually nice, so to display them will be nice.

Hope you’re having a gr8 weekend. Rock ~n roll…speaking of. You played the band meme? LInky love, linky love. Come on by if ya have time. Grab a cup’a joe or someth’n-someth’n. We’ll hang.

‘nuf said. *huggies*

great stuff! thanx,

but what about the old blogger which does not have that option of adding a feed as a module ?

i.e. is there a way to utilize this described method on the old blogger templates ?
