Recent Comments Widget with Hide Author Comments function For Blogger

A few days ago, Mrpolie asked if there's a way to hide the author comments in the Recent Comments widget so that we would be able to see only readers' comments and our replies to be hidden. So, in this post I'll be sharing with you the Recent Comments widget that comes with this function. If you want to show just blog readers' comments rather than yours, you have just to change "Blogger User" text with the surname under which you are posting.

The main features of this recent comments widget:

• You'll be able to hide your comments
• Change the avatar size
• Set the number of comments to display
• Set the length of comment for the widget to display

Now let's start adding it...

Step 1. From your Blogger Dashboard, go to Layout and click on Add a Gadget link

Step 2. In the pop-up window, choose the HTML/JavaScript widget

Step 3. Copy-paste the following code:

Recent Comments Widget with Round Avatars:

Recent Comments Widget With Post Titles (no avatars):

Some changes before saving it.

- to set the number of comments to be shown, change the "5" value from the orange line
- for the number of characters, change the "67" (for the 2nd widget, it is 95) value from the green line
- to hide your comments, replace the Blogger User text TWICE with your name
- to change the size of avatar, change "50" from the blue line.
- if you don't want rounded avatars, delete this line:

-webkit-border-radius: 100px;-moz-border-radius: 100px;border-radius: 100px;

Step 4. Save your widget and you're done!
