Comments on: What’s The Deal With Disqus?

Ah, but if you noticed, I have threaded comments on this blog without having to use Disqus. And everyone gets notified if someone responds to a post, so there’s nothing new there either.

“I could set it to notify me of any comment added to a string I have commented on” — the idea is in fact a very awesome technique which provides a brand new potential to us blog writers. For instance, the capability to perform threaded responses is really great. This signifies anybody are able to participate any one else immediately, preferably than responding in general to virtually all. The threaded comments are indented, helping to make it simple to monitor sub-discussions. I might state this is one of my personal preferred attributes.

Anne, Blogger was like that way before Google purchased them and they’ve never made any changes to it. I’ve always hated how they have comments, but I once came across a Blogger blog that had comments set up just like everyone else. I wish I could remember which blog that was, because I’d show everyone how it looks.

By the way, I’m sure you’ve been asked before, but a sideways picture?

I’m annoyed with Disqus right now. I have it on my Blogger blogs because I don’t want to have to moderate all my comments and Blogger commenting sucks when it comes to not being able to moderate a comment once it posts. I received a few spammy comments and although I wanted to keep them I did want to edit out the link that was spammy and could not. Frustrating! But now all comments left on my writing blog prior to a certain date are not showing in the posts through Discus although they do exist. Sigh

I can’t afford to move everything to WordPress, but as soon as I can I plan to. You would think with such a big company like Google/Blogger/etc. they would have a better commenting system.

Heather, though I may let you get the last word in every once in awhile, I will always respond. I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t!

Thanks, Mitch! I appreciate you taking the time to answer me.

When I had a Blogger blog I used JS-Kit for comment reply notification.

I think yours is fine, Heather, but if I get something next time I comment, I’ll let you know. I use that same plugin.

I just don’t know how many Blogger blogs I’ve written comments on over the years and never heard anything, which is why I rarely comment on them anymore, and it’s a shame because there are a lot of people who write pretty good stuff.
