This plugin shows excerpts of the latest comments and\/or trackbacks in your\nsidebar. You have comprehensive control about their appearance. This ranges\nfrom the number of comments, the length of the excerpts up to the html layout.\nYou can let the plugin order the comments by the corresponding post, or simply\norder them by date. The plugin can (optionally) separate the\ntrackbacks\/pingbacks from the comments. It can ignore comments to certain\ncategories, and it offers support for gravatars. It only gives extra work to\nthe database, when actually a new comment arrived. You can filter out\nunwanted pingbacks, which originate from your own blog. And it is a widget.<\/p>\n\n

If your\ntheme supports widgets, and you have installed the widget\nplugin<\/a>, adding the plugin to the\nsidebar is easy: Go to the presentation menu and drag and drop the widget into\nthe sidebar (Screenshot<\/a>). Don't forget the Get Recent Trackbacks box. And you might want to\nchange the title. All done.<\/p>\n\n Old school theme without widget support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n You need to insert the following code snippet into the sidebar template.\n
