  Hey, there,
  Is there any way to configure the Comments widget to exclude certain individuals? (Actually, I’m looking to block myself.)

  Here’s why:

  I usually answer comments once a day, usually answering more than the number of comments I allow in my widget. This means that for at least a little while, my blog appears to only have comments from…me.

  “She’s a weirdo who doesn’t let anyone else talk. Moving on…”

  I’d really like to list only comments from OTHER bloggers, if possible. I’m not the only one…Remedial Professor (http://just5paragraphs.wordpress.com) is also interested.

  Thanks so much for your time!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Use the Visibility tool at the bottom of the Recent Comments widget. Select Hide > if Author is > caseyalexanderblog, and save.

  I’m not the only one…Remedial Professor (http://just5paragraphs.wordpress.com) is also interested.

  If you’re saying that you also intend to block the comments of Remedial Professor, then I think you just follow the same procedure as above. There is no way to select to multiple items in the Hide or Show options at the same time, so I presume you just save one at a time.
