Show HN: The HackerNews Follow Discussion Button

A cool thing you could do with this is adding a javascript function in the file that automatically submits a story when this button is included. That would really elevate it from a link with some styling to something that's really useful.

BTW, I don't like the word 'Follow'. Follow might've meant something else in the long-forgotten past, but right now, it means 'subscribing to someone's rants on a social network', which is _not_ what you mean at all. I think 'Discuss on HN' or 'Discussion' or something like that would be a much better title.

Hello everyone, it´s not a big thing, just a little css designed button that you might want to use or modify.

It's broken in IE7, IE9 (not IE8) and Firefox 12. The logo's button element on the left doesn't align with the one on the right.<p>Is there a specific reason you chose to add a button element in your links? Why not style the a tags and display them inline-block?

I like this idea, however at first i thought it was allowing me to get notified of updates on a particular HN thread. I guess what i'm trying to say is maybe there is a better word than follow.<p>In general, i really like it though! Well done.

BUG: It's not properly aligned in Safari 5.2 (beta), OS X Lion 10.7.3:<p><a href="http://d.pr/i/ZDZM" rel="nofollow">http://d.pr/i/ZDZM</a><p><a href="http://d.pr/i/Gj25" rel="nofollow">http://d.pr/i/Gj25</a><p>Is perfect on Chrome though.

Something you may consider for your CSS: vendor prefixes are no longer required for border-radius declarations.<p>Mostly true for box-shadow as well, except for the Android browser I think.

grep '^[qwertasdfgzxcvb]\{12,\}$' /usr/share/dict/words<p>"stewardesses" seems to be tied with:<p>aftereffects desegregated desegregates reverberated reverberates

updated the git.<p>- renamed from "Follow Discussion" to "View Discussion" - improved code, thx to @TazeTSchnitzel - tested with Chrome 19.0.1084.52, Safari 5.1.3, Firefox 9.0.1<p>just discovered that <a href="http://nreduce.com/" rel="nofollow">http://nreduce.com/</a> is using the button

Good work, I like it and am forking it to add a little bit extra I may have for it after practice tonight.
