In the side bar I used to have a widget that displayed the last few comments made on my posts. It is not there any more - any suggestions please? It was useful for keeping track of when people commented on my posts.

Yes, I know that one should have short titles, but honest how many of us always create a blog title that's only 5 words or less all the time?

Such an option would keep the Recent Comments Widget list of referenced blog titles, shorter and less cluttered looking.

The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.

In a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.

I am using the Recent Comments widget in my Primary Sidebar. When the widget is added, I see that the commentor's name and the post title appears. Is there a way to show an excerpt of the comment? I have the Custom CSS upgrade if code is required.

How can I turn my own replies off so that only their comment displays in the widget? The problem is that if I reply to comments, my face is seen in between every other comment in the widget. If there's no way around this how do I make a suggestion that such an option be made available in the widget's options? Thanks.

Am not that impressed with it and am compelled to modify the recent-comments.php file.

On my site (www.earnyourturns.com) what it displays now is the "comment-author ON post-title" in the R sidebar. It displays recent comments and pingbacks and trackbacks. I want to show recent comments ONLY, no pingbacks or trackbacks. Does anyone know how to change the code in the recent-comments.php file to achieve this? I think I know what line to change, but not what to change it to.

And while I'm at it, I'd rather show the comment author followed by the first 50 or so characters of the actual comment, not the post it is related to. For an example of what I want to show, see http://www.wildsnow.com in the inside R sidebar.

Thanks for your help.
