  A person posted this idea a few months ago. A great suggestion. But not clear if we have something already?? https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/hide-blog-authors-from-recent-comments-widget#post-1283920

  But now I checked into the Recent Comments widget and saw one could choose to “Hide” an author….like oneself, the blogger. That would help with blogger commenting by responding to visitors. Then one’s own name and responses don’t have to dominate the widget display.

  But I tried it doesn’t quite work. So I don’t understand how the visibility features for Recent Comments widget work.

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