Want to know how to get comments on your Octopress blog?

It’s not difficult at all!

Steps

1. Go on over to disqus.com and make an account.

2. Click on “Universal” for the type of blog you are using.

3. Open _config.yml in your root directory for your Octopress blog.

4. Find the line that looks like the following:

1
2
3

# Disqus Comments
disqus_short_name:
disqus_show_comment_count: false

1. Look at the Disqus short name (mine is darkzeroman), use the following image as a guide for where to look.

2. Copy that over to the _config.yml entry for disqus_short_name you saw in Step 4. So mine looks like:

1

3

# Disqus Comments
disqus_short_name: darkzeroman
disqus_show_comment_count: false

1. You’re done!

Have fun!
