You can now comment using disqus

Since I’ve updated my website to a bliki, I’ve missed having comments a lot! It’s no fun to not know what your readers think of your content (even if it’s negative, as long as they aren’t rude).

Well, some folks have put some pressure on me to enable comments here, something I’ve been wanting to do for sometime now, but I have other priorities in my todo list. So I enabled disqus, which is a really simple commenting system.

However I am not happy with this solution. First: It’s a JavaScript widget. I want to read comments on my Windows Mobile device. So I need a hardcoded solution. And second, it doesn’t work well with OpenIDs. I want to be able to blacklist some OpenIDs if I want to, and also have some authentication system (although it’s very easy to set up an anonymous provider.

At last, I’m not sure if I want my wiki pages to have comments. Maybe I’ll have comments only for blog entries. It’s something to think in the next month or so. In the meanwhile, feel free to use the current disqus system.
