Added CoComment Integration to blog comments

Jayson Knight threw down another double-dog dare and added CoComment's new comment integration to his Community Server blog.  Cool, a Friday latenight challenge!

I got it to work but it was a bugger (took longer than it should have.)   The problem was that I had a FeedBlitz formlette on the sidebar with its own Submit button which prevented the CoComment javascript from working correctly.  I replaced the FeedBlitz textbox and submit button with a simple URL to my FeedBlitz Subscription page and automatic CoComment posting started working.

If you have a CoComment account (and Jayson mentioned tonight that CoComment is out of beta and open to new registrants again) and are logged in, you'll see a CoComment graphic next to the Comment Form Submit button with your CoComment username on it.  No longer will you need to click on the bookmarklet as an additional step to record your comment here at good ol' dbvt.com.

Wow, extra air time over on dbvt as of late...yeah baby!  

Actually I was looking at your blog earlier and I noticed that the CO image was showing up next to the submit button for your FeedBlitz section instead of the submit button on the comment form, so coco "integration" was indeed working, but apparently was getting confused as to where to put the CO image.  I also saw that you pinged the devs over on the coco blog, so hopefully they can get that sorted out.

Lots of dbvt airtime for JayPatrick, baby!  

Geez, I wish you would have told ME about the CO image showing up next to the Feedblitz submit button.  It took me over an hour to find it! Smile  During that time I must have looked at your page source probably 10 different times, comparing it with mine, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong.  When I finally noticed the CO image I looked into your email subscription source and saw it was Javascript and not an Input control, which is why you were breezin' with both.

Yeah, old Merlin and the boys at CO are really humpin', aren't they?  A hard working bunch.

Thanks for your comments.
