Get a Disqus Account for Blog Commenting


In the latest nip and tuck of the Viva Visibility Blog, my blogmistress Maria advised we start using Disqus for our comments.

It’s only been a few weeks but I’m loving every minute of it. On my old commenting system (through WordPress), I couldn’t post a reply to a comment directly below a person’s comment. You’d have to scroll down and try to figure out who I was referencing. This is nesty and cozy, we don’t have to shout over 16 other comments to get to each other.

To get the most out of this, simply set up a free account on Disqus. You’ll start noticing more and more blogs are using this as a system for comments. What’s cool is that you can log into your Disqus account and see ALL the comments you’ve left around the blogosphere, get known by bloggers as a top notch reader/commenter, and drive a little visibility your way by creating a profile. (Be sure to upload your photo and put a link to your blog in your profile)

It integrates beautifully with social media platforms which means, in my lingo, you’ll go farther , faster and easier. You don’t need to understand all the bells and whistles (I don’t but I’m learning!), you can pick those up in time or by visiting the Disqus site.

By the way, I pronounce it “discuss” which makes sense, but I also hear people saying it like “discus” as in the field event. Whateva, all that matters here is that it makes comments get some extra juice and creates a win-win for all.

Go ahead and try it out by leaving a comment here. Enjoy!

    Glad you like the new tools :-) Disqus is great, because it so easily integrates with Facebook, Twitter, OpenID — allowing more connections across various platforms, all rooted on your blog. That's what social connecting is all about, if you can get people to not only communicate with you, but also each other exploring your content and expertise, you'll build so much faster :-)
