I see listed two different recent comment plugins. Which one do you actually use?
Thanks

Hey, Carl. If it’s listed on this page, it’s activated in my WordPress setup and likely in use somewhere. See, I have a plugin to do this!
The Customizeable Comments Listing is being used to generate my mega “Last 1,000 Comments” page. The fresh//comments widget is used to generate the comments in my “Buzzrodent” section in the sidebar on the left (just under the Adsense ads).
Et Voilà!
