Blog Comment Autofill Is Back (Greasemonkey Script)

Published January 31st, 2008 in Automation, Fun, Getting Things Done, Making Money Online, Tools of the Trade, Web Hacks and WordPress.

In its first incarnation, you’d be on Digg, reddit, etc and the script would actually fill in your blog’s URL into the submission field!

Now, I check the meta generator tag, i.e. if you view source on this page you’ll see something like this in the header:

Typepad is also supported. Blogger has a bollocks commenting system, so this script will not work with Blogger blogs.

The Open Source Itch

This script was born because it was simply maddening to have to retype my details every time I wanted to post a quick blurb in a blog comment.

That’s why many open source projects start out as hacks and only gradually morph into more sophisticated projects.
