I haven't found a way to post recent comments on my main page anywhere for MT4. However, the syntax for MT3.2 works, with slight adjustments.

In your Sidebar layouts modules, place the following where you want the comments to appear.

CODE

<MTIf name="module_recent_comments">
<h3 class="widget-header">Recent Comments</h3>
<div class="widget-content">
<ul class="widget-list">
<MTEntries recently_commented_on="5" sort_order="descend">
<li class="widget-list-item">
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a> (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)<br />
<MTComments lastn="1"><$MTCommentAuthorLink show_email="0"$> wrote:
<$MTCommentBody trim_to="35" remove_html="1" convert_breaks="0"$>...
[<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>#c<$MTCommentID$>">more</a>]<br />
</MTComments>
</MTEntries>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</MTif>

In your main index template, add the following:

CODE

This will give you a recent comments section like the one here.

Hope this helps those that want something like this!

I can't see any way to make this work.
