Help wanted!

I need some kind of Most Recent Comments system for my blog. Who can help me? I'll find you a suitable reward if my nearly-eternal gratitude isn't enough.

[Update: read Comments for Wilson's helpful suggestion. Just scroll down past the "Recently" section on sidebar to view the end result. Let other Blogger users profit!]

I posed that query once before. The only one who answered was Wilson, the History Major.

He said it probably wasn't possible with Blogger's system.

But I still wonder....

Well, it doesn't have to be exactly like the mechanism on other sites. If I could just know whether someone's recently commented and on which post.

Oh well, I guess I can still do it the archaic way and scroll. Not like my blog generates much discussion anyway.

I now take it back. BloggerHacks has a couple of possibilities for a "most recent comments" section in your sidebar. Try following the directions posted here.

Once again, help arrives from the non-techie sector.

Those "other people" are in danger of having a downgrade to their will-status.

(You try it out first, Sharon, and then if nothing crashes, I'll make a go at it :-)

You can notify yourself via email when you get a comment. Log into Blogger, go to Settings --> Comments --> Comment notification and set it up there.

Wilson the History Graduate, thank you so much! It works! You have my nearly-eternal gratitude, and I think at least maman will make good use of it too.

(Thainamu, thanks for the idea, but it would just be extra cumbersome by email.)
