RECENT COMMENTS USING BLOG FEED

0 comments
Recent comments widget can be added to a Blogger blog using the feed URL as a work around for the lack of a recent comments widget by Blogger. The way to add is is to go your your Dashboard, click LAYOUT, then ADD A GADGET in the place you want it such as the sidebar. Then type in your blog feed URL such as http://YOURBLOG.blogspot.com making sure to replace YOURBLOG with the actual URL of your own blog as shown in the screenshot below:

Then click CONTINUE and you will be presented with a CONFIGURE FEED popup. Then type in the title "Recent Comments" or any other title as you wish and tick the options you want as shown in the screenshot below:

If you have a custom domain for your blog, you may also use the alternative feed URL such as http://www.YOURBLOG.com replacing YOURBLOG with the actual URL of your custom domain blog.
