Jayson Knight started the Community Server CoComment Support ball rolling with his
quick mod to the CS Skin-CommentForm.ascx control. Then Thomas Freudenberg took the ball and
slamma-jammed it in the hoop. I took Thomas' code and in 5 minutes from copy to paste to upload, my blog had CoComment support. Thanks, guys! A big shout-out to Keyvan Nayyeri who
added support for CS 2.0.
So how did I get a CoComment registration invite? Me? Well, Jayson Knight posted some
interesting thoughts about CoComment on Friday evening and happened to mentioned that he had a registration invite to the first commenter of the post. Yeaaah, baby. The invite arrived to my inbox from Jayson a couple of hours later. This proved the old adage that the nerd who snoozes on Saturday morning instead of reading their RSS feeds....
loses! btw,
Keyvan might have a couple CoComment invites still available. You'll have to email him about that if interested.
A quick CoComment description is that it gives you the ability to store all of the conversations containing your comments on a single page, your CoComment Conversations page. To use it (for now) you add a CoComment bookmarklet to your browser bookmark toolbar (screenshot below) which you click on when you finish entering your comment and before you click the "submit" button.
I've added a sidebar menu link to
my coComment conversations page. Not much there. Here's
Jayson's, which is much more interesting.
The thing is, there's no way to know if a blog (particularly a CS blog) supports CoComment. We CS guys may want to add a "CoComment Enabled" message or something to our blog comment form until the CoComment capture process is finalized.
