/**
* This script lets you embed a comment form directly in your post page.
* The user will see a comment form ready to be filled, while reading your
* original post, in your page, without having to go to Blogger.com website
* or click on a sily link to popup the form.
*
* Visitors will feel more invited to comment, and your posts will be
* more dynamic.
*
* It is based on a bloggerhacks.blogspot.com old script, but much improved
* and way more compatible with nowadys Blogger.com forms and methods.
*
* This hack homepage: http://avi.alkalay.net/techdumps/
* (go ahead and post a comment there!)
*
*
* USAGE
*
* - Download this script and put it somewhere on your website
* - Include it in your page in the HTML section like this:
*
*
* ...
* is really needed bellow.
*
* ...
*
*
* - Then call it from your template, in the point you want the form to appear:
*
*
*
* - You can change text or language of the labels by redefining them before
* calling the method, like this example in portuguese:
