1) In the "Recent Comments" block it provides the 10 most recent comments. Under the comment subject it lists the time stamp. How do I removed the timestamp?

2) How would I go about altering how many characters the titles are displayed in the recent comments block?

3) A similar question is that many taxonomy based blocks provide the number of nodes under the category. e.g. "Category (12)". Is there a way to remove the number annotation?

The best way to get the block exactly the way you want is to make a view, using the Views Module. Choose the make block option and determine precisely what you want to appear, which categories, taxonomies, how much of the node to display, etc. The combination of CCK and Views is especially powerful for users who want to exert a lot of control over the display of their content.

The View module is really very powerful, in seconds I was able to set all the parameters for the Recent Comment section.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will use it for all my other modules and blocks from now on.
