You may have noticed that I recently incorporated a new commenting system into my blog. The built-in commenting system from blogger.com is pretty basic, so I thought I’d spruce it up by incorporating the code to use the Disqus Commenting System.
I have received many kind words and compliments from family on my blog for which I am very appreciative. The comments have come in a variety of forms. Some have been posted to my Facebook profile or sent directly to email or just dispatched using the tried and true interface of face-to-face. I did want to mention that comments can be made directly in each blog posting as well.
To comment, you don’t need to acquire any special userid or anything. My blog accepts anonymous comments. If you have a Facebook, Twitter, Google, or OpenID userid, the new commenting system makes it bloody easy to use those identities. To make a comment or respond to another comment, you need to go to the web page for that post. At the bottom of the post, you will see the following:
After specifying your comment and clicking Post as…, the following dialog box will display.
You simply enter your name or email and the click on Post comment button to add the comment. If you want to post the comment using your Disqus, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, or OpenId identities, then just select the appropriate system on the left. Selecting Facebook displays the following:
Clicking on the Sign in with Facebook button will allow you to post the comment using your Facebook identity, which would include your Facebook avatar. That is all there is to it.
