Like most people, I think the default comments section in WordPress sucks. WordPress, as a platform, is probably one of the best. disqusI have used others, but WP is now grown into a very powerful tool-set, with so many plug-in choices, auto-install and updates. The biggest weakness for most sites is the comments section. You can have rich content, beautiful writing, and a strong base of readers, but if they can’t voice their opinions to let you know how to make your site (or opinion) better, you have nothing.

My friend and fellow tech blogger, Ramon B. Nuez Jr. from New Media Brief, told me about Disqus, so I gave them a try. They describe themselves as, “a comment system and moderation tool for your site”. Installation was a snap, the site ran very well, and in less than 5 minutes I was rocking a new comment section on my blog. It couldn’t have been easier.

I’ll play around with it and let you know how it goes.
