coComment is an interesting new tool to allow people making comments on disparate weblogs to track their comments in a central place.
At present, coComment supports a variety of blogging platforms (Blogger, TypePad, etc.), but doesn't provide documentation for hacking homebrew blogging tools to supports its bookmarklet. A little reverse-engineering of the coComment bookmarklet gave me enough information to make my own blog look enough like TypePad to work with the service. Here's what I did:
- Changed the id of the comment form to comment-form.
- Changed the name of the Name field to author.
- Confirmed that the name of the Email field was email.
- Changed the name of the Comment text field to text.
- Changed the name of the submit button to post.
- Added
<link rel="start" href="http://ruk.ca/" title="Home" />to the title section of the page.
