We decided to support comments via DISQUS, which is a free third party service, that will provide you with the interface to manage your comments.

We chose DISQUS because It allows your audience to post comments using their facebook, twitter and openid accounts (among others). It has an interface for moderating posts. It will keep away spam. And most importantly, it aggragates reactions everywhere on the web about your articles. What that means is that when someone posts a link to your article on twitter for example, it will automatically show up on your page right below your comments. This feature is optional, and you can turn it off if you don’t like it.

You can set it all up in less than a minute. There are only 2 steps:

1) Create an account at DISQUS

 

Site URL is your Mixform Website Url (yourname.mixform.com) or your domain name if you have one (www.yourname.com). Remember your shortname, you will need it in the next step. You don’t need to configure any settings on DISQUS right now, you can go back to your Mixform Account.

 

2) After you create your account, you need to go back to your portfolio on Mixform and enable the comments. It’s very simple. Just go “Account Settings” > “Portfolio Settings” and enter tour DISQUS shortname. That’s it.

Let us know how this feature is working out for your!
