oops!

Oh well, I guess I goofed up. Did you know that when you replace the standard blogger.com comments with , it deletes all the old comments? I didn't, and it does :(

UPDATE: Cool :) Thanks for letting me know the comments were not lost. If you want to switch to Haloscan, but want to keep your old comments visible, do this:

1) Click the template tab, copy your whole template and save it in notepad, in case you screw up.
2) Go to , and create an account. Choose the automated conversion method and it convert your comments to Haloscan work for you.
3) You have to add some code to get your old comments back. Here's the code I used:

if(<$BlogItemCommentCount$> > 0){
document.write('<a class="comment-link" href="<$BlogItemCommentCreate$>">Old comments <$BlogItemCommentCount$></a>')
}

The place to put it is right after the line that starts with:

<a class="comment-link" href="http://www.haloscan.com/comments/...

and ends with:

</script></a>

make a new line and insert the code shown above. All done!
