  Hello! Can anyone advise on how to count the number comments? The number of recents
  entries can be specified up to 10, but the comments it seems cannot. Space is at a
  premium on my sidebar and it would be good to have jsut the last three comments.

  Better still, how about having the comment itself, up to the first X number of
  characters?

  Thank you. Ian

  The Recent Comments widget is hardcoded to 5, as previously discussed. I suggest you send a request thru feedback to have it the number user-configurable.

  I won’t want the comment itself to show up. But again, if you want it, send it thru feedback.

  I would also like to see the Recent Comments widget made to be adjustable as well.
