you changed Site.FoxBlogTemplate, so any new pages created with
NewBlogPage will not have this, but the pages you already got have the
reference to $FoxPostCount in it. See
http://www.shadlen.org/~maria/pmwiki/Blog/BloodyHell?action=source
line 12:
!!!!!Comments: {Comments.{$Group}-{$Name}$FoxPostCount}

As far as I know, {$FoxPostCount} should work. It counts the
occurrences of the string '#foxbegin' in the page, which is used in
every comment posted. so you can change the above line to:

!!!!!Comments: {{*$FullName}$FoxPostCount}

You can try it on your blog page first, and if it works change it on
Site.FoxBlogTemplate.

What does not work with the newer fox.php is $FoxCount.
And as you see from the source line quoted above (from the original
FoxBlogTemplate) the comments were meant to go into a separate
Comments group, on a page Group-PageName, ie.
Comments.Blog-BloodyHell.

As you set up the FoxCommentBox, it appends to the current page, rather
than a target page in a Comments group. So you simplified this and
have no need for the $FoxCount var. But try  {{*$FullName}$FoxPostCount}
as a counter.
