<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
    // Recent Comments Settings
    var
 numComments  = 5,
 showAvatar  = true,
 avatarSize  = 60,
 roundAvatar = true,

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://your-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=json&callback=w2b_recent_comments&max-results=5"></script>

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  = 5 

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!
