- It is not native to Blogger
- Unless you have your own domain, i.e. your blog URL is not xyz.blogspot.com, search engines will crawl and index JS-Kit URLs, not yours. Hence, you must be able to make a CName entry in your DNS records if you want your comments indexed under your domain.
Think about it for a minute. What does the widget do? It presents you a form (comments section does that, too), asks you to input a URL (same available as "name/URL" in comments), gets the blog URL, automatically finds its feed and fetches the last post.
From a perspective of a complete JavaScript illiterate, I honestly do not see a reason why it can not be done when the widget does not loop, i.e. it fetches the last post of the comment author only once; otherwise links will change when the comment author updates its blog by posting a new entry.
As I said before, I am hopeless when it comes to JS. Maybe one of the experts who happens to stumble on this post gives it a try. Until then, we will all have to wait, I'm afraid.
I too am in love with CoomentLuv. I think it's great, pretty much gives extra incentive for commentators to be part of the discussion. Yes, too bad bloggers is not capable of this plugin.
ReplyDeleteI think Blogger is capable of doing it and that is the idea behind this post. The tools are already there but nobody has ever tried them. Although I have zero knowledge of JavaScript, I am sort of working on it. Just take a look on your right, a few inches down, to the widget named "My Blogs" and tell me what you see. It actually does exactly what CommentLuv does. It fetches the blog's name, and last post. What needs to be done is finding a way to display it in the comments section.
ReplyDeleteI hope someone does figure it out, because I love CommentLuv but have to use the frustratingly slow JS-Kit comments to have it on my blogger blog. I know the maker if CommentLuv has been working on a solution, but as far as I can tell, he keeps hitting a brick wall.
ReplyDeleteSurely it can be done!
I think they improved JS-Kit since I used it, should run faster now. I tried it for a couple of days and then attempted to import my comments back to Blogger. Either it did not work, or I made a mistake but all my comments were lost. I figured much later it was because of my template. I, too hope Andy finds a native solution.
