This blog’s commenting is now Disqus powered. Disqus is a very powerful comment system, which enhances the discussion on your website. Ever since I moved my blog to Wordpress platform, which is the best decision I’ve made about selecting blogging platforms since I started blogging, I always wanted to enable the Disqus commenting system for this blog. But I kept procrastinating that task thinking that it might be a cumbersome process to configure it.

But I was simply wrong. Enabling and configuring the Disqus commenting system on my self-hosted blog was a dead simple experience. The process was extremely smooth, and it blown away me with the complete user experience. Disqus implementation rocks!

My strong recommendations to all bloggers (newbies and professional):

  1. Use Wordpress for blogging platform – either self-hosted or from Wordpress.com. Wordpress 2.7 is damn awesome! Blogger and TypePad should die. They are the worst blogging platforms. Those who are still using Blogger and TypePad, still don’t know what they are missing from Wordpress. Go move on to Wordpress – it’ll be your best decision of blogging life.
  2. Use Disqus for commenting platform – there are tons of awesome features that Disqus provides to enhance the commenting experience on the blog. Now commenting on the blogs is more interactive, trackable, and controllable. If your blog don’t have Disqus commenting system, then I’ll wonder why you don’t have it, and will think twice before commenting on it.

Thank you Wordpress and Disqus for making my blogging experience so awesome and so easy!

    I'm thinking of getting Disquis on my blog as well. I've read what other say, most of them have the same good opinion as you do, some complain their pages don't load fast enough or at all sometimes.

  • My opinion at the moment is that Disqus is probably the better of the two for managing comments on your own site, but that Backtype may be the better solution for tracking your own comments off your own site. Together, they make a powerful toolset for tracking your digital footprint and keeping all your online conversations straight.

    There's no doubt DISQUS works great in aggregating your comments but it's not really a good thing SEO makers since DISQUS ends up with NoDofollow comments.
