When you write an opinion in your blog, there can be mixed reactions from your readers. There are people who agree with you, There are some who don’t agree with you and few have a different opinion all together. But how will you know what their reaction is if you don’t give them an option to express!?

Disqus has been my favorite so far. It is simple, minimal and robust. I haven’t faced any problem with this one so far. I recommend Disqus than any other comment box for Jekyll.

The best part of Disqus is that it allows users to comment using facebook, twitter, Google plus or just using an email address! Moreover, if you have a bunch of blogs, you can have different comment boxes for them and manage it from a single account!

Here are the steps to implement Disqus comment box in your Jekyll blog.

Step 1: Sign up This step is pretty common for all the comment boxes. You can sign up for Disqus with your email, facebook, twitter or Google plus. After signing up, you may have to verify your email address if you have signed up with an email.

Step 2: Set up Disqus Once you login, you should see a gear icon on the top-right corner. Click on it and you’ll get a drop-down with one of the options saying Add Disqus to Site. If it shows you a page with the heading “Engage” then click on ‘start using engage’. In the next screen choose a shortname for your comment box.

Step 3: Get the Disqus code Now select the platform as Universal code and you should be redirected to the page having the actual code. Insert the code wherever you want the comment box to appear.
