Comments are a great part of the intraweb. It's what separates this kind of media from Print, Radio and Television. Comments allow you the reader to put in your 2 cents about a topic/post/article. Blogs take advantage of comments because authors love to get feedback on their posts. I know I do! Habari, the blogging system I use has a commenting system built in, but I am a huge fan of threaded comments, that is the ability to reply to a specific comment in a threaded style, thus separating it from other comments about the post. Disqus is a great commenting system that allows you to do exactly that. You fill out the same info you do with many other commenting system, your name, email (which is never displayed to the web) and a URL should you choose to. Disqus also allows you to create an account should you want to have a fancy little avatar like I do. They also offer email notification if you want to subscribe to a thread or get an email if someone replies to a comment you've made. The Disqus site provides great step by step tutorials on how to integrate their commenting system into many popular blogging formats, including Tumblr, which is where I was first introduced to Disqus as Tumblr does not provide the ability to have comments by default.

With all that being said, comment away. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.
