Suggestion: comments on the sidebar

Hi Steph!

I was thinking that it´d be a good idea to have the last comments made on the blog on the right sidebar, linking to the post where they were made.  It´ll be much easier to follow interesting comments, without having to suscribe to every single post.  It´s very easy to do in WP, I don´t know about Blogger, but I suppose it shouldn´t be that hard.

Cheers!
Matias.

  2. Great idea Matias, done! New Recent Comments gadget near the top of the sidebar.

  3. Something has gone wrong. The Recent Comments tool was working and now it isn't. I'll see if I can fix it.

  4. Having some technical issues with the Recent Comments widget on the sidebar. It seems to be working fine for awhile, but then if I leave a comment on any of the pages on the top (for example, Drug and Supplement Sources), then all the Recent Comments disappear.

  5. Your last one "Having some technical issues with the Recent Comments widget on the sidebar. It seems to be working fine..." is the only one showing right now

  6. Just an idea, to troubleshoot it: try to leave a comment in those sections with a new user, not admin (for example "S. Western")

    PS: my first comment showed up above yours

  7. I logged out, left an anonymous comment on the "Drug and Supplement sources" page, and again, all the recent comment disappeared from the sidebar. I may have to disable comments on those pages at the top to keep this Recent Comments widget functioning properly, unless I find one that works better.

  8. There´s also this widget for Blogger: last-comments.blogspot.com
    Maybe is worth a try!

  9. Well, I don´t have a Blogger blog, so I couldn´t test it, but I think those links to the widget might be dead!
