After 12-hours or so of usage and debugging my MT templates to properly integrate with coComment, I finally got somewhere to say the least. If you need to catchup to what this is all about, you may read my previous article on what coComment can do.

Anyways, I finally got around fixing my Individual Entry Archive template. I did the following:

• I formatted the TITLE-tag as stated in coComment’s Support section,
• fixed my old MT2.661 JS comment-related code to use the mt-site.js provided on MT3.2,
• and edited my CSS to reflect the change I have done with respect to the mt-site.js

Other than that, coComment’s current version is rock solid of a tool for bloggers. Enjoy!
