comment blues

So, I had to take off my recent comments widget from my right hand column because of this nasty, and now very legal, issue with Minnie. When I tried to reinstall the widget all I get is the actual code showing.......boo
Anywho, HaloScan said I should download my whole template and send it to them and they will fix it for me. How cool is that? I'm really impressed. I hope my impressedness remains after they get it. I'm also wondering if this would mean I would have to lose all my old posts, etc. That would just fry me, but I'm going to keep up the optimism for now.
I am sorry to all (several) my readers, commentors and authors for this inconvenience.
