The integration only catches coCo users though - not all comments of a post. Not sure if that is possible right now. It does make it easier to use coCo though, and if you aren't logged into coCo, you can click on the logo above and it will start the comment capture tool. I'll offer up whatever assistance that may be helpful, though I'm just getting up to speed on WordPress and the PHP scripts it uses.

I appreciate that! I also try to add my own couple of cents to whatever news I report on. I really am itching to integrate coComment into my blog (and all the rest of the KMM blogs for that matter). Great job doing that! I am submitting this comment with the extension disabled to pretend I'm a non-coCo user, but the coComment box still appears - which is a great thing. I assume you are thus able to use coCo to track all comments at your site? Thanks, Rick. I appreciate that! I also try to add my own couple of cents to whatever news I report on.

It really is disappointing that there are so many sites that post the same news and don't add to it. I do post links to news bits, but I try to put some of my spin or perspective on it. Not sure if I succeed at that, but I try. I do enjoy the <a href="http://www.businessblogwire.com/" rel="nofollow">BussinessBlogWire</a> though, I've been getting a bit of inspiration from the topics there - good work!

There certainly is a lot of duplicated, tired, rehashed content out there, though!
