Comment Blogging tool for Blogger blogs

As a follow-up to my recent post on comment blogging, after some initial practice at making my Del.icio.us post categorizer helper (which was much harder), here is a Greasemonkey script that automates mycomments tagging (userscripts.org entry) the comments you write to Blogger blogs.

commenting screenshot What happens is that you get an additional "Save at Del.icio.us" link next to your newly created comment, after you have successfully posted it (see the featured screenshot to the right). Clicking that brings you to the Del.icio.us tag page, all fields filled in and ready to just click Save at. The first time you add a comment, you will have to tell the script what your Del.icio.us user name is, and what tag or tags you want to apply to your comments by default. I warmly recommend keeping the "mycomments" as is (since it's becoming a standard), but you might perhaps want to add "public", or something else, too. Remember, these are just the default tags suggested in the tagging form you get to, so just type the tags you are most frequently going to want to have there already when you comment things, so you minimize your typing. You can always drop or add some before finally submitting each comment to Del.icio.us.

Enjoy!

  1. Could you possibly strip the html tags from the comment before inserting into the notes section?

  2. I might make a separate version or a config option for for that; I myself actually use this feature, so I can render the comment the same way it was written.

  3. I am trying to do that, but I am getting a 404 error.

    Updated with a link to the userscripts.org page.

  4. Thanks, I was using the proper one in my office (from userscripts.orf maybe). But at my home the search engine brought me to this outdated link...

    Thanks and Regards

Limited HTML (such as <b>, <i>, <a>) is supported. (All comments are moderated by me amd rel=nofollow gets added to links -- to deter and weed out monetized spam.)

I would prefer not to have to do this as much as you do. Comments straying too far off the post topic often lost due to attention dilution.
