I just installed Disqus for comments.

A few weeks ago I installed the Intense Debate wordpress plugin to help me manage comments here on the Tribeswell blog.  Kevin Hood mentioned that he was using the plugin as well, though he also mentioned that he had better luck with its rival Disqus.

Well, here’s the bottom line.  It seemed to me that Intense Debate wasn’t very much of an improvement over the standard comment functionality in wordpress.

I’ve decided to give Disqus a try.  I’ll be honest, it didn’t seem particularly easy to install.   It was a little unclear, however it’s up and running now.  I’ll let everyone know how it’s working and if anyone else has problems installing, sent me a message in the comments and I’d be happy to help you figure it out.
