Why can't I Install Intense Debate on my FTP Hosted Blogger Account?

I am having the same problem. I have three blogger blogs on my site and all are in asp with virtual includes, not sure if that makes a difference but after I install nothing happens. Your solution is not rocket science so what is going wrong.?

I have created the solution. It took a long time. I will post my procedure here for the rest of you to glean from my wealth of knowledge and wisdom! LOL! You may decide to change a few steps along the way to customize it to your own liking but this will at least get it completely operational on an FTP hosted blogger blog.

Step-by-step here we go....

Pre-Step - Copy and paste your entire working blog template into a word editor and save it to your desktop so that if this totally messes up your blog you can copy and paste it back when you are done!

1. Go to intensedebate.com and enter your blog address or select the install intense debate on my blog button and then enter your blog address.

2. When it asks for your blog type, select blogger blog. Don't worry about installing any code. Just click continue and then click finish on the next page.

3. Under the tools tab, import your comments from your blogger system. It should walk you through this process. It is pretty simple.

4. While that is importing open your blog template and make the following changes:

A: Locate the code <div class="meta"> and add the following code IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE

TAG!!!.

<mainpage> </mainpage>

I will show you how to put your own acct. number in their in a few minutes.

B: Locate the code <itempage> and add the following code IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE <itempage> TAG!!!

<span></span>
http://www.intensedebate.com/flareURL...

Everything following the acct= is your account number. Copy and paste it into both of the codes on your blog. Make sure you paste it inside of the apostrophes following the acct=

6. Republish your entire blog and it should work just fine!!!

I hope that this helps some of you all out. I can't help it that I'm a genius. Just kidding. If you make any improvements on this method just let me know. I just through this together last night and this morning.

A NOTE TO INTENSE DEBATE: You guys do a great job but here is an improvement you could make. Make this code that I posted above available under the blogger blog installation process. You could allow people to use your system or my system depending on their needs and their level of understanding. Then of course you could avoid having to chase down the account number by including in the code that you could offer. Anyways, keep up the great work. I hope all of this helps!!!

Give me some feedback!</itempage></itempage>

Post the url for the blog you are talking about and I will help you out with this. I think I know what to do but I will know for sure when I see the site.

Basically I think you need to post the code directly after the <itempage> tag and you need to delete everything between that and the code </itempage>

I just noticed that every bit of html I post on here displays completely wrong. My whole instructional post is completely goofy. It isn't displaying even close to the way that it is supposed to. I don't know how to get the instructions out on here.

could you email it to me?

lars@porterstahoe.com

I emailed it. Give feedback. Thanx.

Could you possibly email me the solution as well: archan9el[at]gmail.com
