Tutorial: Showing recent comments on blog

Today's tutorial will show you two methods of showing recent comments on the blog. Please take note that each one has its own limitation(s) so before copying and pasting the codes into your blog, do read this tutorial carefully.
Method 1
<h2>Recent Comments</h2>
<Blogger>
<MainPage>
<BlogItemCommentsEnabled>
<BlogItemComments>
<$BlogCommentAuthor$> //
<a href="<$BlogCommentPermalinkURL$>">
<$BlogCommentPermalinkURL$></a>
<p class="comment-body">
<$BlogCommentBody$>
</p>
</BlogItemComments>
</BlogItemCommentsEnabled>
</MainPage>
</Blogger>
The codes above will be shown only on the main page and not on individual pages. If you want them to appear on the individual pages as well, remove the <MainPage></MainPage> tags.
However, this code does not show the recent comments per se. It only shows recent comments for the post on the current page.
Method 2
By using this code snippet, recent comments will only be visible if the blog is set to public. The reason for this is because the script utilises the blog feeds in order to generate the recent comment. The script needs to be able to read the feed and it can't read the feed if the blog is put on private.
<script type="text/javascript">
function showrecentcomments(json){for(var i=0;i<a_rc;i++){var b_rc=json.feed.entry[i];var c_rc;if(i==json.feed.entry.length)break;for(var k=0;k<b_rc.link.length;k++){if(b_rc.link[k].rel=='alternate'){c_rc=b_rc.link[k].href;break;}}c_rc=c_rc.replace("#", "#comment-");var d_rc=c_rc.split("#");d_rc=d_rc[0];var e_rc=d_rc.split("/");e_rc=e_rc[5];e_rc=e_rc.split(".html");e_rc=e_rc[0];var f_rc=e_rc.replace(/-/g, " ");f_rc=f_rc.link(d_rc);var g_rc=b_rc.published.$t;var h_rc=g_rc.substring(0, 4);var i_rc=g_rc.substring(5, 7);var j_rc=g_rc.substring(8, 10);var k_rc=new Array();k_rc[1]="Jan";k_rc[2]="Feb";k_rc[3]="Mar";k_rc[4]="Apr";k_rc[5]="May";k_rc[6]="Jun";k_rc[7]="Jul";k_rc[8]="Aug";k_rc[9]="Sep";k_rc[10]="Oct";k_rc[11]="Nov";k_rc[12]="Dec";if("content" in b_rc){var l_rc=b_rc.content.$t;}else if("summary" in b_rc){var l_rc=b_rc.summary.$t;}else var l_rc="";var re=/<S[^>]*>/g;l_rc=l_rc.replace(re, "");if(m_rc==true)document.write('On '+k_rc[parseInt(i_rc, 10)]+' '+j_rc+' ');document.write('<a href="'+c_rc+'">'+b_rc.author[0].name.$t+'</a> commented');if(n_rc==true)document.write(' on '+f_rc);document.write(': ');if(l_rc.length<o_rc){document.write('<i>“');document.write(l_rc);document.write('”</i><br/><br/>');}else{document.write('<i>“');l_rc=l_rc.substring(0, o_rc);var p_rc=l_rc.lastIndexOf(" ");l_rc=l_rc.substring(0, p_rc);document.write(l_rc+'…”</i>');document.write('<br/><br/>');}}document.write('<div style="font-size:70%;text-align:center"></div>');}
</script>
<script style='text/javascript'>var a_rc=3;var m_rc=true;var n_rc=true;var o_rc=100;</script><script src='http://www.yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=json-in-script&callback=showrecentcomments'></script>
Change the values in the code above.
var a_rc = 3 // this is the number of comments you want to display
var o _rc = 100 // this is the length of the comments you want to display
yourblogname.blogspot.com // change it to your own blog URLLabels: recent comments, tutorial
