Trying Out Disqus Commenting Tool

*Updated* (with the usual edits)

Decided to try the Disqus commenting tool on my blog and, besides plenty of great features of its own -- including some recent new ones and also an even better mixed comment tool for the sidebar, it is easy enough to install and only employs doing so with a template installation procedure and not a troublesome widget.

There does not seem to be an option to have the comments show under the blog posts right on the main or archive pages, however it quickly goes to the post page and to the comments section as the Blogger-hosted comment tool does.

While I have not tried posting a comment with it on my blog yet, I have previously posted comments using Disqus on other blogs and it works fine in that respect.

In addition, I've tested my blog using the Internet Explorer (IE) browser and it works fine on those browsers and there does not seem to be any blockage issues this time around, although the blog and also the commenting feature does load slower in IE than with Firefox 3 or Google Chrome (just reporting, not hinting).

Do not know about other browsers, but I think Disqus has been around for a while and may do a better job at browser integration as a result.

By the way, for iMac users, someone informed me today about a browser I never heard of before for Mac users: Camino, Mozilla Power, Mac Style.

Whatever browser(s) you may be using, please check it out and let me know how the blogs loads and works now, as well as feel free to try out posting a comment as well, particularly if you are new to using the Disqus commenting tool yourself.
