For reference, the original comment link overrides are located at
http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=96. This is what the overrides look like for Generator:
LASTN_TALK_READLINK<=
%%messagecount%% thought%%mc-plural-s%% |
<=LASTN_TALK_READLINK
LASTN_TALK_LINKS<=
%%readlink%%
share your thoughts <=LASTN_TALK_LINKS
Reversing the link order (so that the comment link appears before the read link) involves only a slight change of this override.
LASTN_TALK_READLINK<=
%%messagecount%% thought%%mc-plural-s%%<=LASTN_TALK_READLINK
LASTN_TALK_LINKS<=
share your thoughts | %%readlink%%
<=LASTN_TALK_LINKS
This is merely an example of how to reverse the order.
