This is what people say:
Thank you so much for making customising my blog so simple. I am no expert so cutting, pasting, editing text is brain strain.
Thanks, mum! ;)
Hey thanks! I have added this Search widget and works great! I also added a second side bar and works great too!
Regards from Costa Rica
@Tico: you are welcome!
Hans you are doing a terrific work here. I´m using the recent posts and recent comments widgets and both are working perfectly on mi blog. Thanks a lot!
Hi Hans, congratulations for your blog. I have implemented several of your amazing hacks and I think it´s quite cool. As you can see it's a mix of "underwater" template andd your Beautiful Beta CSS.
However, I made some mistake when i was translating it to my language (portuguese). The trouble may be very easy, but I can't find where I've made such changins, as "Older Post" to "Postagens mas antigas", in the Home (Principal)page. The error is in the word "mas", that is actually "mais".
Could you help me, please? Thanks in advance.
Bosco
Very funny. I thought the widget would display the titles of my posts - not yours!
Hi,
And recent comments in a private blog, ¿Is't posible?
Aloha!!!
@Southern writer: if you change my blog name to yours, you will get your posttitles. Funny, isn't it?
Hello from India! Just installed your recent posts widget to my blog. basically using most of your hacks on my blog. It looks pretty cool. Thank you so much!
Hans. I got the recent posts updated and looks...well...Beautiful! Also, I consult with companies for marketing, do you ever do work to set up sites/blogs? Cheers.
@Ryan: thanks for your compliments. No I don't do this for a living, but I am open to all interesting propositions :)
How can I make my own textsize under "Recent posts widget" smaller?
/Linda
@Linda: a few days ago I published an updated version of the Recent Posts Widget, that gives you the opportunity to use custom CSS style definitions for the widget. You can customize the post, the postsummary, and the widgetfooter that way.
thnx for the widgets :)
@deepak: you are welcome!
I just try the recent comments widget, thanks.
Any idea how to add recent comments in a private blog?
I am sure your hack works well in a public blog...but I and many others aren't having much luck with a private beta blog.
If it can be done...I am sure you are the one to make it happen.
Cheers!
Hopeing you dicover a solution.
I am sure your hack works well for a public blog. But I am wondering if you know of a solution for a private beta blog? There are many bloggers who would love to see a hack as well.
I am sure if it can be done your will find it.
Cheers!
Hopeing to read a solution on your blog soon!!!!!1
@Silver: I have been asked this question several times, and after some research I now see a way how this could be done. You can set your FTP-blog to publish a atom and rss-feed to your own domain. If your ISP allows PHP-scripting, you can use a standard Ajax-solution to display the rss-feed on your blog as a recent posts element. If your ISP doesn't allow PHP-scripting, you could use this script as a basis to create your own to parse the xml-file. I know this can be done, but my javascript-knowledge is not very deep, so it will take me some time to figure out how to do this.
Hi Hans!, thanks and were not difficult to me, I leave to my email and you to you the translated shipment, surely that is much spanish and latin's people who want it to have in his blog.
A hug, and my confusion is colossal, it forgot to me my direction of mail is memmoria@gmail.com :P
P.D. What if there am since I have translated it in spanish, I do not believe that there is no problem ;D
hi,
this is great! but actually i really like the previous blogger 'recent comments' and 'recent post'. simple and neat. can u create one something like that?
recent comments is something like this...
(commentor's name):
(post title, linked to post page)
and when we hover our mouse at the post title, a short summary of the comment will appear.
Hans, lots of thanks for the widget I've installed it without any difficulty.
Previously, I use rss-to-javsript.com for recent posts but it slow down my blog, I hope yours won't. Keep the good work
Thanks a ton. I am a css and html illiterate and your step by step explaination is so amazingly simple that i didn't even need to read back twice. wonderful service to all of us. Thanks again.
I have implemented it at:
The Health Information Blog
s**t!!!
SUPER COOL!!
keep it up..
@All: thanks for using the widget, I am glad you like it!
Love your widgets!
Thanks Annie, I like them too! It's judt amazing to discover that I can use javascript to create javascript that creates the translations of xml to ..... yes, javascript so that we can display the feeds using....yes again...javascript. And it works. That's maybe the most amazing part :)
you are absolutely genius,Thank you very much.I'm personally will promote your site as well.
"Recent comments widget" is cool, but it doesn't work with private blogs, at least I couldn't get it to work with a private blog. I think it only works when you publish a feed, but I didn't confirm that.
@Anonymous: so far I have not discovered on how to get a comments-feed from a FTP-blog. There is a recent-posts widget for FTP-blogs however.
Just installed the recent comments widget. Thanks I was looking for something like that. And thanks for making it so easy to install.
Hans, first off thanks for the great Widgets. Would you mind explaining how the Custom CSS works as I'd like to use my own codes etc.
Many thanks in advance.
@Davide: you are welcome!
@DarkUFO: if you install the widget in standard-mode, the code will add some styling to the widget content (for example the italics of the post-summaries, line-breaks, textcolor etc.).
If you install the widget in custom-css mode, no styling will be added, but classes are added instead. You can add style definitions for these classes in the template of your blog, in the skin part.
Thanks Hans, that worked a treat.
Thanks Hans... your widget is so simple yet cool! Really appreciate your effort
Hi, I've been trying to install the recent comments widget in my blog and it seems that there's no way to get it wrong, but for some reason it's not working for me! Any chance anyone might be able to figure why that is? I'd love to use this widget because it looks great!
Thanks.
@Molly: make sure that your browser allows script execution
I use Firefox from a Mac and a PC and I've successfully installed other widgets (like the recent comments thing I have working right now) but they were installed manually. So, I realise this might not necessarily mean that my browser is allowing script execution. But it's in my sidebar... it's just not doing anything. I still can't figure out why. Sorry... thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to give.
@Molly: the widget-code is present in the pagesource, so installing the widget succeeded. That it doesn't show any comments is caused by an error occurring in the javascript. Maybe this is caused by your feed settings: I noticed that different feed settings can lead to a different use of tags in the json-feed, and then my code crashes (I will repair that ofcourse). So could you check your feedsettings, and post them? And does my Recent Posts Widget work, or do you have problems with that one as well?
Thanks again for your help. I've looked at my site feed settings and they were set to "short". I've changed them all to "Full" and that seems to have fixed it! Wonderful. Thank you so much. It looks fantastic!
All the best!
Hans you are a widget god!! I just added the recent post to my blog. Brilliant. What I noticed is that whenever you make a minor change in an older page it shows up on the recent post widget. I understand that your script take it as a new change therefore a recent post. Is there a way to have the recent posts listed according to the most up to date posts?
@Meeta: brilliant as it might seem, my script code is fairly simple. It takes the posts from the blogfeed, and displays them in the same order as they appear in the feed. That an updated post is displayed at the top of the list is a logical consequence of the nature of a feed: it is a NEWS feed, to keep people updated on changes on your Blog. But I agree that in some cases (for example if you correct a spelling error) it is irritating that the post shows up.
Hi Hans.
I speak Spanish, I don't speak English much.
Interesting web.
But How I can to show recent comments in Spanish.
Similar a Ramani How.
Bye
Dear Hans,
CUSTOMISE button is not visible in Recent posts widget creator.
What else I can do to create Recent Posts list?
Hi

thanks

Hi. When I install the widget, it pulls 'recent' comments from a post back in March. Why is that? Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Hans,
I seem to be having the same issue too. It was working perfectly until all of a sudden a few days ago the recent comments starting showing on the widget are from August 2006. Any ideas?
Is the recent comments widget EVER going to work again? Where can we get some news on what's happening w/the JSON feeds?
Hi Hans,
I think this is the second visit to your blog. The comments widget leaves a powered by beautifulbeta which would be nice if it wasnt there.
If i want to run a clean looking blog it doesnt allow me to use ur widget. I have no problem giving credit for the hard work with a link back to your blog.
But it would be nice to have a clean widget as well!
Cheers Hans!
hey man, thnx, realy thnx.....

happy wednesday!
Hi,
I've been using the recent comments widget for a while now. Several months ago, I changed my blog from two columns to three columns. Now, when I click on the comment that I want to go to in the list, it won't bring up the right comment. It instead only brings up the right page, but no longer does it bring up the right comment. It's supposed to go to #comment-cxxxxxxx. It used to do that and I really liked it but now it's not working like that anymore. Is there a fix to this?
By the way, I forgot to say thank you for the widget. In my selfish request I forgot to show gratitude for a widget that I have been very pleased with. :)
Thanks for the excellent "Most Recent Comment" widget. I've placed it in my site.
Rest assured I will be blogging about it soon and include the link for the widget to your site.
Feel free to drop by my site at:

Just downloaded the "recent comments" widget - what a breeze to install! Thanks so much.
I can only get the widget to display 25 comments even though I specify more. Is that something to do with my feed settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
That is so great - Thank you so much! Instalation could not have been any easier.
RC. I was searching for something like this, i just have a word to say,Excellent!
Well, two words, also, thanks.
thanks a lot for this widget!
Hi, do you have the full javascript of the 'recent post' widget to publish or not, please? I ask you this help because when I host yours on my googlepages (http://xxx.googlepages.com/reccent-post.js) to avoid bandwidth limit, my blog cant recognize it.
