RecentComments

This plugin allows you to show the latest comments, pingbacks or trackbacks in the sidebar of your blog or anywhere else. The plugin comes with widget and gravatar support and gives you the options to finetune the listing the way you like it.

Most themes bring along their own stylesheet rules. This plugin requires very little predefined css rules. You can customize every single listing element by editing the recentcomments.css.

Does this plugin displays stuff in the sidebar only?

No, you can place a function call everywhere in your template. See the installation section.
