Add Recent Comments Widget In Blogger

This Recent Comment Widget for Blogger displays the latest comments in your blog's sidebar. This widget will show the snippet of the last comment together with the post title name where your reader has made a comment. If you have an advance knowledge in blogger you can also put this sidebar anywhere in your blog not just in your sidebar. When you add this recent comment widget in your blogger blogspot and you're using a threaded commenting system that allow the reader to reply in a comment. The reply will consider as a new comment by the widget.

Did you know that this widget can increase your blog's page view? Because I experienced it after I used it in this blog, my page view were increased like a magic, the old post has now a page view. The only reason I can see why my page views was increased is because the widget displays my old post that has a comment in the sidebar, and the readers of this blog click the article that has a comment.
