Experimenting various commenting systems for some time. And I tell you, it was a tough decision to choose one of them. IntenseDebate, Disqus and JS-Kit are the most popular options available for the blogging community.
Though every service has its advantages and disadvantages. At the same time, there is no one service which is perfect. Almost all provide you the facility of threaded commenting, replying the comments through email and moderating and flagging spam comments easily.
But finally the deciding factor will the kind of feature you are looking for and the interface user see and experience when you add that commenting service on your blog.As I said, it was a tough decision to make, but I am happy to mention that I finally made a choice of enabling DISQUS on Knowliz. For me, the only deciding factor was – with DISQUS I can enable Facebook Connect as well. So I don’t have to worry about another customization to add Facebook connect.
Step involved to enable Facebook Connect using DISQUS for Blogger Blogs:
- Register at DISQUS.
- Add your website/blog details.
- Take a backup of your current blog template and save it for later use, in case you wanna roll back.
- Follow the online prompts on DISQUS and then save your Blogger template. (You just enabled DISQUS on your Blogger blog)
- Login to Facebook and ‘Create an App for your blog‘ to get an API and Secret Key. See below:
- Remember to use http://disqus.com as the Callback URL while creating Facebook Application page.
