#Note/Permanent #Note/HowTo #Web/Plugin/Comment For digital creators, comments provide a valuable avenue to gather feedback, foster discussions, and enhance content. While integrating a comment section into static websites, like [this one](https://garden.sparrow.zone/), can be a challenge, third-party comment management services offer a solution. These services allow you to embed an iframe with the comment section directly into your webpage using HTML or JavaScript. In this guide, I'll walk you through setting up a comment section using Disqus, a popular choice among many. ## Steps to Integrate Disqus: 1. **Sign Up**: Head over to [Disqus](https://disqus.com/) and sign up as a Publisher. 2. **Create a New Site**: Click the `+ New` button on the top banner and provide the necessary details. ![[Pasted image 20231030154737.png]] 3. **Choose a Plan**: I recommend starting with the Basic plan—it's free. ![[Pasted image 20231030155232.png]] 4. **Platform Selection**: Disqus will present a list of platforms.
