If your blog client of choice is Google’s Blogger, odds are you’ve banged your head against a wall at least a few times wondering why Blogger can’t be a bit more like WordPress or TypePad. While Blogger is incredibly easy to use, it’s a bit more difficult to customize. But with a bit of work, you can tweak your Blogger site to near-perfection.
For example, while Google doesn’t offer a “recent comments” widget, Blogger buster has created a simple widget generator that lets you build and add a recent comments section to your sidebar. You can customize how comments appear by choosing how many comments to display, whether to show the date or post titles, and how many characters to include in the preview.
