Some WordPress blogs have a list of recent comments in the sidebar. Particularly when (as in bbvx.org/wp) there are comments on old posts, this may be helpful.
It appears there’s a Template Tag for recent posts (Codex is down, so I can’t find it right away) but to get the recent comments, something else is needed.
The Wiki has a recent comments hack.
There are also references to recent comments plugins - one, another one. Both of those can be installed by the WordPress Plugin Manager but that seems to be offline for now. The second plugin referenced describes a manual install that doesn’t seem too bad.
Figuring out more about plugins and such may get me to the blogtogether.com Chapel Hill Blog Teach In on the 23rd.
Yep, thanks to Anton and the others at the teachin, I have a “recent comments” in the sidebar of www.bbvx.org/wp. It also seems that the WordPress plugin manager may be a pre 1.5 thing - installation was pretty simple.
Still more to do, of course.
