Introducing Comments

With this post, we are introducing comments throughout the blog! This applies to all previous and future blog posts.

We're using Disqus for our comments system. We chose Disqus over a plethora of other options for the following reasons:

It's widely used.
It’s easier to comment: Disqus has a large existing user base and the onboarding experience for new users is fast. You can register with your Google, Facebook or Twitter accounts and users can more seamlessly share the comments they write through those channels.
It's fast. Adding this functionality won’t negatively impact the load time of our posts.
It fits in nicely with how we've already built the site.

There are some things you should know before you get started with commenting:

You'll need a Disqus account in order to comment on our posts.

The basic steps to create an account, and the benefits of doing so, can be found here.

We encourage lively discussion, but ask that you please be respectful of others. Personal attacks are prohibited and will be deleted.

Disqus offers a host of other tips, tricks, and recommendations if you want to take a closer look at everything.

Check out their Commenting 101 page for more information.

If you need help with commenting, feel free to visit Disqus Help or email us at thegoldenhurricast@gmail.com.

We hope you like the added functionality, and we're looking forward to chatting with you!
