About Disqus

Disqus is a blog comment hosting service for Web sites and online communities like blogs. Disqus is very popular among most of the bloggers and many blogs use it.

Follow below steps to add Disqus to your Ghost blog

Open your post.hbs file and look for {{/post}}. Place the following code just after that,but before </article>:

<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<div id="disqus_thread"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var disqus_shortname = 'example'; // required: replace example with your disqus shortname
    var disqus_identifier = '{{post.id}}'; // make sure to use the post.id as an identifier, otherwise disqus will use the pages url per default, which might no work sometimes...

    /* * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */
    (function() {
        var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
        dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
        (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
    })();
</script>
<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="http://disqus.com/?ref_noscript">comments powered by Disqus.</a> or upgrade your browser.</noscript>
<a href="http://disqus.com" class="dsq-brlink">comments powered by <span class="logo-disqus">Disqus</span></a>

Make sure you replace example with your shortname in var disqus_shortname = 'example'; line.
