Just another test post #3.
Just to clear up any confusion about what comment system has or hasn’t been implemented where:
I completed the installation of JS-Kit Comments (formerly HaloScan) across all blogs.
Results were VERY mixed. JS-Kit Comments installed successfully on the following blogs:
It didn’t install properly on the following blogs, however, which means that I don’t have a single, consistent comments system across blogs.
JS-Kit Comments wasn’t my first choice (no offence, guys). I initially attempted to install Disqus, and then IntenseDebate, but without success. Disqus hasn’t yet responded to my forum post. (I’m sure both would have worked correctly on a “fresh”, unmodified Blogger template.)
JS-Kit Comments does have one major advantage over the other two, and that’s its ability to import your existing Blogger comments when you implement and export your comments to Blogger if you back it out. It apparently maintains your comments on both systems while you’re using it.
One more thing to come out of this exercise is that I have created a profile for Maskil on all three systems.
JS-Kit: Comments, ratings, polls and surveys, Navigator, chat and more...
Have successfully installed JS-Kit Comments on Birkenreis (Old), but can’t get it to work on Workbench.
Disqus comment system won’t work on either.
This post is also being used to test IntenseDebate on Workbench. It might work because there’s a Widgetised install.
Messy, very messy…
This is Test Post #2 for testing the Disqus comment system. Let’s hope were all much better after a good night’s sleep.
Here goes…
I’ve just implemented the Disqus comment system on this blog, and this is a test post to see how it looks.
I selected the option to: Use Disqus on future blog entries only
Rather than: Use Disqus on all entries. This will hide existing comments
I don’t have all that many comments on my blogs, but I’d hate to lose any of them.
One wouldn’t think that your choice of commenting systems would make a big difference to the site’s popularity/traffic, but by all accounts it does, and Disqus, pronounced "discuss", apparently leads the pack at the moment.
Anyway, what do I have to lose?
It’s nearly 22h00 and my eyes are really blurry, so I’m packing it in. The rest will have to wait for the morning…
I’m in the process of implementing the Followers (Google Friend Connect) Gadget across all my blogs, starting as usual with this one.
You’ll find it under “Follow Me” in the Sidebar.
Over time, I think I’d like to implement the “Social bar” rather than the Members Gadget, but that involves quite a bit more copy & paste of code snippets.
Please feel free to add yourself as a Follower to any of Maskil’s blogs!
Official Google Blog: Google Friend Connect: now available
My Twitter “Followers” have increased substantially since I began “covering” the IDF operations in Gaza late last year. I’m now at about 50-odd Followers. This might not sound like a lot, but is impressive considering how little effort I’ve put into increasing that following.
In deference to this new audience, I have added a “Follow me on Twitter” badge to my Blogger blogs, as part of my “More of me” sidebar widgets. For now, I’ve made use of the Interactive Flash Widget from Twitter itself, but I will look around for something a bit more eye-catching. Also possibly something that uses less display real-estate.
So if you’re not already following Maskil on Twitter, here’s your chance. I usually “Tweet” only once a day, six days a week (excluding Shabbat); more often in the case of dramatic events such as the recent conflict in Gaza.
If you’d like to receive a Tweet each time my blog content is updated, then simply follow Maskil_Update here.
