I would just like to take this opportunity to thank PalMD, in whose Blogging 101 session I declared Recent Comments to be the single most important widget a blogger can have, and Lou, who sent me a widget that turned out not to work with my template, for getting me off my ass to find a widget I could use. Thanks also to Ben, who tracked down why a simple change in the (unformatted) Javascript to customize said widget made it stop working.
Anybody who wants a recent comments widget that works with the layout function in Blogger templates, just let me know.
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
I know, Mike, and Blogger has one that works with old style of template, but they haven’t had one for the new style. In fact, it was kind of a pain to find one, which is why I’m sharing.
I want it. How do I get it?
Me too!
Me too, how does it work?
Okay, code and instructions here.
Oh, um. WordPress has this feature built-in….

I’m glad you got it going. Recent comments really makes a crucial usability difference in a blog.Rock on, Steph.
