Friday I mentioned that Dave, Joel, and Jay got me on the coComment bandwagon.  It's a cool wagon at that!  Now that I can track my comments on other coComment enabled sites I needed the same for my blog.  I got some insight from what Thomas did for CS 2.0 then did the work specific to dotText.

I left off the commentAuthor variable in the coComment script and will always use the commentAuthorFieldName variable instead.  I'm the only one who logs into my blog and my username doesn't correspond to my real name.  This way others will always see "Erik Lane" in the coComment thread.

The code snippet below will go in your skin's PostComment.ascx file just below the control directive.

Giddy Up!
