  There’s a widget that will display the names of the most recent commenters (10 I think) and the name of the post they commented about. The FAQ entry on widgets is extensive and should get you going in no time:

  Be aware that once you add a widget to your sidebar, the default sidebar will disappear and have to be rebuilt with widgets.
