+MAKING A "RECENT COMMENTS" BLOCK
+================================
+The Talk module does not work correctly with the core (built-in)
+"Recent comments" block.  However, you can create a replacement using
+the Token and Views modules.
+
+First, install and enable those modules (if they are not already
+available on your site).
+
+Then you can create the "Recent comments" block with Admin > Site
+Building > Views > Add.  This involves quite a large number of steps,
+but all of them require only clicking buttons and filling in forms.
+
+Set: View name: "recent_comments"
+     View description: "Recent comments"
+     View tag: leave blank
+     View type: Comment
+Press Next.
+
+Then do the following sequences of operations:
+
+Relationships > Comment:Node > Add > Update
+
+Fields > + > Node:Nid > Add > Exclude from display > Update
+Fields > + > Comment:ID > Add > Exclude from display > Update
+Fields > + > Comment:Title > Add 
+  Label: set it to be blank 
+  Check Rewrite the output of this field and set it to "[subject]" 
+  Output this field as a link: "node/[nid]/talk/#comment-[cid]"
+  turn off "Link this field to its comment"
+  Update
+Fields > + > Comment:Post date > Add 
+  Label: set it to be blank 
+  Date format: "Time ago (with "ago" appended)" 
+  Update
+
+Sort criteria > + > Comment:Post date > Add 
+  Sort order: Descending
+  Update
+
+Filters > + > Node:Published or admin > Add > Update
+Filters > + > Comment:In moderation > Add > Moderated > No > Update
+
+In the short left-hand column headed "Defaults", change the selector
+to "Block" and do "Add display".
+The "Block" display should now be selected in that column.
+In "Basic settings", change the title to "Recent comments".  Update.
+Change "Style" to "HTML list".  Update.
+
+Save the view.
+
+Now go to Admin > Site Building > Blocks.  Select your theme.  
+In the disabled block list, you should find "recent_comments:Block".  
+Assign it to a region.
+Assign the core "Recent comments" block to "<none>".
+Do "Save blocks".
+
+You should now see a "Recent comments" block in the region you
+selected.  Test it by clicking on one of them, and verify that it
+takes you to the comment on the Talk page correctly.
