Steps
- Register at Disqus.com. Enter all the information the site asks for, including your Tumblr URL, the name of your blog, a shortname and a username for Disqus, a password, and your email address.
- Select "Tumblr" from the install options on the page.
- Follow the instructions on the Disqus page. Make sure you're logged in to the correct Tumblr before you put in your Disqus shortname!
- You're done! Save and open up your blog in a new window--it should say "0 Comments" underneath all your posts. You and all your followers can click on this text to comment on your blog using Disqus.
Tips
- You can also add the Disqus commenting feature to other blogging and web services such as Blogger, Joomla, and Wordpress.
Warnings
