// published: http://www.blogger.com/publish-comment.do?blogID=\d+&postID=\d+&r=ok
// Both may or may not have an "&isPopup=true" appendage. Both also fortunately
// have the post's original location in #cpost-body's last a[href], and the #cN
// as the last element of the document.anchors array. We assume the majority of
// blogger users follow the sound behaviour of listing the comments in the post
// page with the default anchor #cN as is the case in the default templates. In
// both layouts, we can also pick up our own blogger profile id through #cN's
// (which we picked up above) first <a href> tag, which is the second <a> tag
// (the first is an <a name> anchor to the same effect as the id:d <dt> tag),
// in case we would need it for something. This is not done presently.
