As I wrote on my previous post, I experience problems with the Recent Comments Gadget. Some BlogSpot users also have same problem and posting question: "Recent Comments gadget not working?" in Google Product Forums. Philippe Chappuis proposed a solution in his post: Le Gadget Recent Comments (commentaires récents). Unfortunately, it is writen in French, and I have not learned French language. I read in Hacosphere.blogspot.com, Ramani posted Customizable recent comments widget (using JSON feed). But, to use Ramani script, we need to edit the HTML Template of our Blog, and I am too lazy to do that.
All I need is simply a list of comments to appear in my side bar. Fortunately, BlogSpot has already provide us with a gadget to show content of RSS or Atoms feed. Configuring this list of comments using this gadget is very simple. Just follow these steps:
- Log in to your Blogspot Account
- Click Layout
-
On your side bar Click Add Gadget
-
Click Feed
-
On the Feed window, fill the Feed URL with: http://YourBlogName.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default (you may copy-paste it, and then change it according to your Blog Name). Then click Continue
-
Change the title to something like Recent Comments or whatever you like. Choose how many comments you want to show (unfortunately it cannot be more than 5 comments). Then click Save.
-
Click Save Arrangement.
Your list of comments will appear on your blog, like this:
