+So, I have some code, included below. For some reason that I don't quite get it's not updating the wiki page after a submit. Maybe it's something silly on my side...
+
+What I ended up doing is write something like this to the page:
+
+ [[!blogcomment from="""Username""" timestamp="""12345""" subject="""Some text""" text="""the text of the comment"""]]
+
+Each comment is processed to something like this:
+
+ <div>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>From</dt><dd>Username</dd>
+ <dt>Date</dt><dd>Date (needs fixing)</dd>
+ <dt>Subject</dt><dd>Subject text</dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <p>Text of the comment...</p>
+ </div>
+
+. In this way the comments can be styled using CSS.
