It’s a plug-in. I imagine that Michael will eventually make a public version available - he’s currently named it “Efficient Recently Commented posts,” because it’s a lot more efficient than the other recently commented posts plug-ins - so you could keep an eye out for that.

Or, you could always contact him through his blog - my bet is that if you ask him nicely, he’ll email you a copy for you to use.

Great new comment bar! Is there a link for a general hack/plugin that others can use, or am I stuck just pining for such an awesome feature?

Maybe these hints will help you out:

The font-weight property expects numbers: 300 for normal, 600 for bold. Some browsers accept numbers between those two, and fewer support “extrabold” (value 900). Stick to 600 to have it work in all browsers.
Uppercase can be achieved with the property font-variant:small-caps for an effect that is more pleasing, aesthetically (uppercase is converted to a big capital, lowercase to slightly smaller capitals).
IE’s support of “text-transform” is quirky, apparently;
The list-style property is applied to the container (ul) rather than the items (li);
I’ll leave that to the plugin expert. :)
Try adding a negative left-margin to the

, and push the actual comments (

) to the right with a padding on the left.

I like the quote extracts but would rather have it limited to one or two per post.
