need help with crosspost settings

[ljgeoff]

Edit: Never mind! :) my solution is below.

I'm looking for help with getting my LJ to display a link to my journal here. When I go to settings, and then click on the tab to Other Sites, I have an option to "Add the footer to the post on the other site:"

I have this set to "always" but there is no footers on my LJ site. Secondly, there is a text box that says "Text of the footer to add on other sites. If you leave it blank, the system default footer will display." Down below this text box is:

The following variables may be used:
%%url%%: link to the original post
%%reply_url%%: link to the reply form on the original post
%%comment_url%%: link to view the comments on the original post
%%comment_image%%: image tag that dynamically displays the comment count on the original post

I want to show the comment count on the original post. So do I just copy and paste %%comment_image%% into the text box? I've never seen any code like that. In any case, nothing happens -- I don't have any footer at all in my LJ posts.

Bleh.

Edit: my text box looks like this:
