Just Following The Crowd

by Lori

Ok I admit it and I did mention I may need intervention before, but I am known to follow “this is a new blog toy” crowd.   I was not going to give in at first when I  saw it on McMama’s and then I saw it again on Bring The Rain, but I still did not know how it would fit in with my Thesis Theme.  Finally I saw it on MattFlies blog and I was sold.

What is it? DISQUS

DISQUS

This allows me to comment back to you, but ALSO you can hit the little reply button and respond to other people who leave comments. I think it will also allow people also to use Facebook & Twitter to comment as well.  Still figuring that part out. Don’t worry you don’t need to be “registered” at DISQUS to comment.  If you are registered it keeps track of comments you leave on all DISQUS blogs (kind of cool).   As my boys say, that is total “powange.” (please don’t ask me to define that word, I can’t. ha!)

I am having a bit of trouble importing my contacts I have Twittered and emailed DISQUS and I am hoping they will get back with me soon.  But I still think it is a neat cool “toy.” Figured it out.  But McMama had this warning on her post:

    ………do you love my new comment system but hate getting all the comments after yours sent to your inbox? You are not alone. If this describes you, just click on “comments” below a post. Right below the box where you’d comment, there will be a small envelope with the words “subscribe by email” or “unsubscribe.” Clicking on those will opt you in or out of that feature!

Between BlogFrog and Disqus I am “powange.” (I think that means I am cool, but if I have to ask my boys then I am not cool…so we will leave it at that).

Hey do you link to my blog? You do!  Then add your link to my Blog Frog community (click where it says “Become A Friend”).

OH AND ONE LAST THING!!! Do you own a camera? If you do they are having a great cute, sassy strap giveaway. They are darling at Iheartfaces

Have a great “over the hump” day!

  • Unique!
  • Glad my blog sold you on Disqus! So far I'm loving pretty much everything about it -- although a little bit of spam gets through here and there... but nothing I can't handle!
  • Matt

    You mentioned you disabled Akismet, well I left it and it is still catching
    all the spam.
  • stop finding these things! I can't keep up with you! LOL
  • Well I can not keep up with your wonderful, creative, photoshop skills! Ha!!

    Hey, I love to read your blog, I find it very entertaining. And congrats on the new comment system. However, being the nerd I am, I have to tell you that you spelled "pwnage" wrong... Just thought I'd let you know. :D It originated from a common typo. A common insult to type to a virtual adversary would be to say "you got owned", but was commonly mis-typed as "pwned", which then became the more active verb of "pwnage". So now you are in the know. Welcome to the nerdiness. :D
  • Hannah!! You crack me up. Well I guess if I don't know what it is (the sad thing is I asked my hubby to spell it for me) I guess that makes us both NERDS!! Thanks for the history now I don't have to ask my boys and look even less cool!
  • So glad to hook up with you again!!!!! I have missed you!!
  • Debbie Petras
    I actually have an account with DISQUS because I need it to comment on Chris Brogan's blog. But I haven't really explored it much more than that. You know Lori, you're the one I look to about new techie things like this. Thanks!

    BTW, I don't know if this comment will link back to Heart Choices. I'll have to check.
