</script><script src=http://your-site.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=json-in-script&callback=showrecentcomments></script><div style="font-size: 10px; float: right;">Get this <a href="http://helplogger.blogspot.com/2012/03/recent-comments-widget-for-blogger.html">Recent Comments Widget</a></div>
<style type="text/css">
.rcw-comments a {text-transform: capitalize;}
.rcw-comments {border-bottom: 1px dotted;padding: 7px 0;}
</style>

Step 4. Replace http://your-site.blogspot.com with your address (pay attention to not have two forward slashed at the end of it).

Other settings:
- to change the number of comments that are being displayed, replace the "5" value from a_rc=5;
- to add the date on which the comment has been made, change the "false" text from m_rc=false to "true";
- to hide the post titles, change the "true" text from n_rc=true to "false";
- to show more or less comment characters, change the "100" value from o_rc=100

Step 5. Click the "Save" button and go to see the recent comments widget for Blogger live on your blog!
