 * Hi all, I’m using this code to pull in my recent comments as I don’t use widgets
   and I need help adding the comment_excerpt:
 *     ```
       <?php
       			$number=5; // number of recent comments desired
       			$comments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = '1' ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT $number");
       			?>
       			<ul id="recentcomments">
       			<h2>Comments</h2>
       			<?php
       			if ( $comments ) : foreach ( (array) $comments as $comment) :
       			echo  '<li class="recentcomments">' . sprintf(__('%1$s on %2$s'), get_comment_author_link(), '<a href="'. get_comment_link($comment->comment_ID) . '">' . get_the_title($comment->comment_post_ID) . '</a>') . '</li>';
       			endforeach; endif;?>
       ```
   
 * I want to add the comment excerpt right under the title of course, but I don’t
   know where to put it in the above code. It’s killing me. I need it be a part 
   of the
    - . Thanks in advance!

 * Sorry. I need it to be part of the “list” tag that houses the rest of the comment
   info.
