 * Groan. :o(
 * I’ve got one of those “as soon as I ask for help I’ll remember how to do this”
   moments.
 * I’ve bunged the get_recent_comments plugin into my sidebar (the one that employs
   my-hacks.php)
 * I can’t stop it displaying *either* the whole comment item, or the comment link
   as bulleted list items. I’m pretty certain it’s not because of nested ul’s or
   li’s in the sidebar.php, so I’m looking to control it via CSS.
 * But I can’t for the life of me work how to identify the various elements of this
   display. It doesn’t look *too* bad as it is, but you know how it is….
 * Anyone?

 * Yeah, but a) it works! and b) even plugins require you to work with CSS, right?;
   o)
 * Yeah – got a url, can I get it to you in a slightly less public fashion? Or is
   that non-PC? *laughs*

 * Update: ongoing.
 * Changed to “recent_comments.php” plugin – as recommended, but display of recent
   comments as before (with my-hacks.php) Currently looking through the stylesheet
   with a magnifying glass (using Daisy Rae Gemini variant). Will update when something
   known.
 * Thanks Podz for time and patience :o)
