# Enabling comments on your blog with Disqus

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.
