Do you have your own plugin for threading comments? Your comment system looks great..^_^.
If you could share it. Tnx! Happy holidays!
It’s the built-in WordPress threaded comments function with custom CSS.
That explains it.
Thanks. You are halfway getting your Netbook! ^_^ Happy holidays!
Indeed, I am. Happy Holidays to you as well!
Can you provide us a sample *CSS script for us to customize our own threading comments? if possible. Where will we place the CSS script?
Sorry to be a pain though.
By the way, what netbook are you looking for?
Absolutely!
I’ll start a thread in the support forum here with the details.
And the netbook I’m looking at is the Acer Aspire 1410.
Hopefully this will give you all the information you need:

What is the code to manually insert Gravatar Enhanced Recent Comments ?
I wanted to have recent comments below my comment box.
Is this possible?
Generally, GERC is a widget-only plugin, but you can manually call the function by adding this code to your template files where you want GERC to appear:
<?php gren_reco( array() ); ?>You don’t have to define
array()but if you wanted to customize the way the comments are output, the array should be defined as:'after_widget'=>'',
'before_title'=>'',
'after_title'=>'' )
Defined:
<div></div><h3></h3>Generally speaking, you could set before_widget to something like
<div class="mostRecentComments">and you could use CSS to style the way GERC is presented using the class definition
.mostRecentComments { }and you can style the listed comments using the ID definition
.mostRecentComments ul#gren-reco { }Since you’re using a function defined as a widget, the title, number of comments, and gravatar size are all defined by the widget control. If you change any of these settings for the widget in your sidebar, it will also change for the manually inserted function. There is currently no way to separate them.
Hope this helps!
