I want to have something on my site that says the latest comments posted to any article...

like:

"[so and so] says "[first 15 words of comments]..." about the article, [article name], posted in the [section name] section"

Is there a way to do this?

Check out the Comments section of the manual. Specifically:

CODE
<MTComments lastn="6" sort_order="descend">
<p><$MTCommentAuthor$> said:<br />
<$MTCommentBody$></p>
</MTComments>

To limit the characters in the Comment body add
CODE
<$MTCommentBody remove_html="1" trim_to="75"$>

I think that will work. Is that what they used to do it on this page?
