 * Hello!
 * Im having a little issue, and i wonder if anyone knows something about it.
 * My site is using this plugin and the Social plugin, both together.
 * All seems alright, both working together, but the issue comes when someone comment
   as anonymous (doesnt fill name nor e-mail). Then, the Social plugin shows the
   author name as “Anonymous”, but the BWP Recent Comments shows author’s name as
   an empty field (nothing).
 * Is there a way to get BWP Recent Comments to show author’s name as “Anonymous”
   when the writer leaves name field empty?
 * Thank you in advance!!

 * I love this plugin! I use it on a site I’m building
    [http://www.colortricks.com/brew/](http://www.colortricks.com/brew/)
 * Is there a way to do the following:
 * – I would like to hide the characters that surround the comment. { }
 * – Currently the date is clickable and goes to comment.
    Can we make the Comment
   text clickable instead? I would also like to reduce size of date and un-bold.
 * Can this be done via CSS? if so where can i find that?
 * Any help with this is appreciated. thanks!

 * Hi there,
 * You can go to Template Settings in the plugin’s admin page, and you should be
   able to customize how your comment list would look like.
