Comments switching to Disqus

The amount of spam I’ve been getting here necessitates a change. I really like Disqus and have been using it on my personal blog for about six months. One of the best aspects of the system is the ability to moderate posts via email, and also for you all to join the community and the discussion via several different avenues — Friendfeed, Facebook, email, or right here on the blog.

The disadvantage is that it hides all comments made on the blog in the past which means that discussions made as recently as an hour ago cannot be viewed. For that, I apologize but I think now is the best time to make the transition.

I’ve decided to set the Disqus settings for new posts or posts with no comments for the time being so as to preserve the comments made to recent discussions. In about a week, I’ll close comments on those and transition entirely over to Disqus.

Thanks to everyone for the great conversations here lately!
