So after some waffling and some soul-searching, I’ve decided that allowing comments on this blog is a good idea. I’m going to keep them open from now on.

That was the easy decision. Now I’m contemplating using a service like Disqus to power the comments here on this site.

The new update to Disqus allows two-way integration into Wordpress with a simple plugin, and gives more power to both readers and blog adminstrators to manage their comments.

I’ve heard good things about Disqus before, but I’ve been wary of moving to a service where I didn’t have full control over the comments that were posted to my blog. Now that Disqus allows seamless integration, it’s looking more and more appealing.

So what do you think?

Should I be using a system like Disqus? Would that bring more benefits to you, my readers? After all, in the end, it’s all about what works best for you.

Discuss.
