   or a specific type.)

**Developer Features**

This widget was built not only with end-users in mind, but also plugin developers.
Almost every aspect of this widget is extensible through filters and action hooks.
You can even add your own form fields to the widget form!

 * Need to remove a field from the widget form? Not a problem! Every field is passed
   through its own filter for easy customization.
 * Need to modify the output of the widget? Easy! The output is passed through numerous
   filters, allowing you to customize the comment list to meet your project’s requirements.

The idea is good. However, when outputting DIV blocks: the first author has no comment.
his comment at the top of the second author, and so on. last comment is not the 
author. In addition, for some reason, there was a horizontal scroll bar for content.
