Hi - I am currently using Dreamweaver 8.0.2, and am considering an upgrade to
CS4 (when it releases). I have an existing site that features among other
things a number of articles which I write. I would like to be able to add
a USER COMMENT feature at the bottom of each article (somewhat similar
to what wordpress blogs allow). And so I am wondering if there are any existing
add-ons or third-party products or anything that would prevent me from having
to code it all from scratch?

The ideal "user comment" feature would allow:
1) Anonymous users to comment OR allow a user to register with a user name,
password
2) Require a reCAPTCHA in order to post a comment (to prevent automated
spamming)
3) Give me (the admin) the option to moderate a comment, but still allow
instant posting
4) Require anonymous posters to submit an email address which optionally can
be hidden from everyone except me, the admin
5) Some other feature that I'm not thinking of right now.

Looking around on the internet, I ran across these two potential solutions to
the stated problem:

1) The JS-Kit Comments product from www.js-kit.com

and possibly,

2) The Comments and Ratings subset of the KickApps API from
www.kickapps.com/commentsratings

Has anyone had any experience with these services and/or code? Are there any
other alternatives that I should be looking at?

Also ? will me upgrading from 8.0.2 to the new CS4 make this any easier?

Any input that anyone has for me would be greatly appreciated.
You can check out my site below - so you can see what I need to integrate this
feature into. [I posted a message similar to this in the Dreamweaver Extension
forum on 9/25/08, and no one responded ? so I?m hoping someone over here can
share something useful with me.] Thanks!

If your server supports PHP, this one from gentle source
http://www.gentlesource.com/comment-script/

Otherwise, search for 'comment' or 'guestbook' scripts at www.hotscripts.com
