So I just started this blog using the jekyll blog engine hosted over github. It worked out very nice, and I loved the flexibility. After setting it up tho, I realized it’d be nice to have comments on my blog. So here is a short little tutorial on how I set up my blog to use disqus.
It’s actually really simple to do, and I wouldn’t even bother writing a post about it except that I want to try out my shiny new blog engine… All you have to do is go and sign up for a disqus account. Then follow the tutorial for adding it, but just use the generic code. Paste snippet #1 in your post template file (layouts/post.html) so people will be able to see your comments. Then just add in snippet #2 right before the main layout (layouts/default.html), and you should be in business.
I haven’t really got into using the disqus api or ruby gems that are provided, but I’ll update if I get around to it. For now enjoy some sick comment awesomeness. ;)
