99 Recent Comments Widget For Blogger


The Recent Comments Widget for Blogger displays the recent blog comments on your blog's sidebar, showing a snippet of the last comments along with the title of the post to which the comment was made. If you want to encourage your readers in leaving comments on your blog, this is a widget I would recommend.

How To Install The Recent Comments Widget For Blogger

Step 1. Go to your Blogger Dashboard >> Layout >> Add a Gadget




Step 2. From the pop-up window, scroll down and choose the HTML/JavaScript option:



Step 3. Now copy and paste the below code in the HTML/JavaScript box:

<script style=text/javascript src="http://helplogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/recent comments widget.js"></script><script style=text/javascript >var a_rc=5;var m_rc=false;var n_rc=true;var o_rc=100;</script><script src=http://your-blog-name.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=json-in-script&callback=showrecentcomments ></script><span id=rcw-cr><a href=http://helplogger.blogspot.com/2012/03/recent-comments-widget-for-blogger.html>Recent Comments Widget</a></span><style type=text/css> .rcw-comments a {text-transform: capitalize;} .rcw-comments {border-bottom: 1px dotted; padding-top: 7px!important; padding-bottom: 7px!important;} #rcw-cr {font-family: Arial,Tahoma;font-size:9px;padding-top:7px;display:block;} </style>

Step 4. Replace your-blog-name with your blog url.

Step 5. Click Save and you're done.

Hope you'll enjoy it!

    1. Gabby, the comments may take some time (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours) to appear as the Recent Comments widget uses Blogger’s feed widget to fetch new comments. Also make sure you have your blogger comments feed enabled (go to Settings > Site feed > Switch to Advanced Mode and select Full for each option, then Save Settings)

      Delete

    2. Hello again... there seems to be a problem with your blogger's feed (it happens from time to time) If that bothers too much, you can try this simple widget instead (copy and paste the code in your blogger gadget) or this one with round avatars

      Greetings

  17. Since installing your widget a few days ago (at http://skyvington.blogspot.com), I've had two cases of a spurious link introduced into posts listed by your widget. See, for example, the link attached to the word "English" in the second paragraph of the post at http://skyvington.blogspot.fr/2012/05/is-bible-good-english-literature.html

    Could there be a link between your widget and these spurious links?

    ReplyDelete

  62. Hi

    I have been using the widget for about 8 months or so; GREAT! I changed from the 5 comments to 35 comments. All 35 comments were showing for several months - not sure how long. Just noticed today that it is no longer showing 35 comments but now only showing 25 comments. The HTML is STILL showing it as 35 programmed, so WHY is only 25 appearing? I notice that the date I have in the script is 2012/03:

    helplogger.blogspot.com/2012/03/recent-comments-widget-for-blogger.html

    Does it now need to be changed to 2013?
