## Description

You can select how comments are displayed, how many to display, and how much of 
a comment to display (if comments are longer than the specified word length they
contain a link back to the original comment). In the future you will have the ability
to limit how far in the past to look for featured comments.

   when selecting comments to feature.

#### 1.0

 * Added the ability to set a variable limiting the display to only include selected
   comments from the last X days (as promised in version 0.9)

#### 0.9.1
