Using GFM with Blogger Comments

Alrighty, kids. This is a really, really fugly hack to demonstrate appending randomized text to comments, but it works.

I started with a blank Blogger template, applied Browserfulsel's Custom Blogger Comments hack, and added the functions that I've been calling 'GFM' into the header.

I modified the function cFrmPost slightly. After it trims the postBody.value, the modified version calls a function called AppendText. AppendText returns a set of three randomized phrases. These get tacked onto the end of the original comment just before it's posted.

The result of this is that when you add a comment to any post on this blog, it appends a block of text detailing your secret plans to blow up the world, piss in the watering hole, or put big hickeys on all the fair damsels.
