title: Showing Disqus comment count in a DIV or SPAN - not <a href>
body: <p>We currently have our Disqus comment counts showing on each post on our homepage inside an <code>&lt;a href&gt;</code> tag, and we see this is updated by some javascript which detects whether #disqus_thread is present on the link.</p>
  
  <p>How do we show the comment count outside of an  tag though?</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>We're not interested in having a direct link to the comments, so we'd like to remove the link and just show the count alone.</p>
