When I wanted to add a comment section to my blog, the first platform that came to my mind was Disqus. It’s quite easy to set up and you get a lot of features.
Some of the key features of Disqus are,
- Spam protection
- Awesome moderation features
- Easy integration with Twitter, Facebook, and Google.
- Ease of use and setup
- A separately hosted comments section
- A single dashboard for multiple sites
The first thing required is to create a Disqus account and get your short name. Once that is got, all we need to add is the below line in your toml file.
disqusShortname = 'yourdiscussshortname'
Disqus has its internal template available, to render it, we just need to call the template.
{{ template "_internal/disqus.html" . }}
That’s it, you can see the working demo under the blog posts all over this site. A Disqus account and 2 lines of code have enabled comments throughout this site.
