Note
Replace your-blog with the name of your blog.
Replace the "5" values in red, with the number of comments you want to appear... from:

  • numComments  = 

and

  • &max-results=5 

To change the anonymous avatar, replace the following address with your own:
  • http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/?d=mm 

To change the size of the avatar, replace 60 value in green with your own

Step 4. After you've made the changes, click Save... and you're done!
