Well the new changes make this instructable trash.

With the deployment of the new FCKEditor on 7 October 2009, comment text is now straight HTML.  Using the "Source" button, you can enter regular HTML markup, including inlined images, along with your regular text.

Hmmm...where is the source button?
Anyways, are they letting users simply put normal HTML in comments?

Oct 10, 2009. 1:05 PMkelseymh says:
It's in the More Formatting section.  Click that button and follow the instructions.

Yes.

One error, its trying to rip money from my bank account...oh well...(but really, i can live without extra formatting, i don't mind)But i do mind allsteps.
(and do they really let user put whatever they want in comments? This is a little dangerous...)

Neither payment nor allsteps is relevant to text formatting.  I'm sure you can find an approppriate place for that discussion.  Apparently they are supporting direct HTML input.

Direct HTML? This is very unsafe, someone could insert dangerous scripts into the page, Javascripts, and Applets...
