Enabling comments on your blog with Disqus (Method 2/2)
Disqus allows bloggers like yourself to have a feature-rich comment system and it is installed just like our blog, with drop-in code. In a few steps, you can integrate a Disqus comment system for your visitors to start conversations on your blog posts.
Below you can find a video tutorial on how to add Disqus comments to your DropInBlog blog posts.
This is one of the two methods you can use to add a comment system to your DropInBlog. The alternative is doing it through Facebook Comments.
