User Comment Add-on or Extension?

  1. Default User Comment Add-on or Extension?

    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 Dreamweaver Extensions 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.

    Does anything like this exist as an Extension or add-on or toolkit to
    Dreamweaver? Will 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.
    Thanks!

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

    1) The JS-Kit Comments product from http://js-kit.com/

    and possibly

    2) The Comments and Ratings subset of the KickApps API from
    http://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?
