11:58 PM    

A while ago I published here on the blog posts that teach one how to show recent comments, plus today I found this new script created by Way2blogging recent comments, he has the distinction of showing the avatar / photo, in every recent comment, which only could be seen before in our competitor WordPress. Learn now how to insert this script on your blog.






1 - Access (blogger.com)

2 - Click on the name of your blog

3 - Go to Layout-> Add Gadget> HTML / JavaScript

4 - Insert Gadget content like the following code:


<div id="recent-comments-box">
<style type="text/css">
    ul.w2b_recent_comments{list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0;}
    .w2b_recent_comments li{background:none !important;margin:0 0 6px !important;padding:0 0 6px 0 !important;display:block;clear:both;overflow:hidden;list-style:none;}
