@Michael Brown – well, if you want to insert it into the sidebar using a widget then you need a plugin that reads in PHP code in widgets

You can insert it directly just by calling the function itself and pass it the parameters.

BTW, I have actually taken the recent posts functions and created a widget whereby one can drop and drag the widget and then do your selection on the options available. I have not yet done it with the recent comments, but it is on the table.

Hi George,

I have the custom_functions.php setup as well as the custom styles, how do I insert the code (and what code do I insert) in the sidebox to call the function to display the ads? Is it into a text widget or directly into the sidebox.php

Thanks,

Michael

Manually adding recent comments can give us a broader way to customize it. Thanks for sharing !
