 * Hi, Héctor. Thanks so much for a great plugin!
 * I’m wondering if there is any way to remove the word “comment(s)” from the widget
   in the settings, Post HTML Markup, or css. I would just like the number to be
   displayed since we are using a comment bubble icon to indicate that the number
   is in fact a comment count. I know it’s possible to change the wordpress-popular-
   posts.php file to get this result, but being able to leave that as is would be
   ideal for the project I’m working on (fairly big site, several developers, etc.)
 * Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

 * Hi jenkma02,
 * Yes, it can be done. Use the `{comments}` content tag with the Post HTML markup
   feature as it only displays the actual comment count without text.
 * There’s already [another solution](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-suport-for-custom-output)
   in the works that allows more flexibility in customizing the HTML output in a
   more developer-friendly approach. There’s still some work to do though, but that’ll
   probably be the recommended way to go in the near future.
