You now avail of a free service from Livefyre. Just sign up for an account and they provide you with a simple 22 lines of code that you include wherever you want in your site or blog. To get the code just select "Custom" when signing up.

Here it is "fusionised"

<?php
echo "<!-- START: Livefyre Embed -->
<div id='livefyre-comments'></div>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://zor.livefyre.com/wjs/v3.0/javascripts/livefyre.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
(function () {
    var articleId = fyre.conv.load.makeArticleId(null);
    fyre.conv.load({}, [{
        el: 'livefyre-comments',
        network: 'livefyre.com',
        siteId: 'xxxxxx',
        articleId: articleId,
        signed: false,
        collectionMeta: {
            articleId: articleId,
            url: fyre.conv.load.makeCollectionUrl(),
        }
    }], function() {});
}());
</script>
<!-- END: Livefyre Embed -->\n";
?>


It will automatically give you your site ID.

You will can then go to Livefyre direct from your site and adjust settings or moderate the comments. It even has a built in "Profanity List" as well as other settings.
Considering this is free, it's pretty awesome :)

For one this requires JS to be enabled. And we all know not everyone has it enabled.

Secondly it doesn't really make sense to have a third party store comments. If they were to go down or out of service it would impact your site.....


Good find but I don't think it is worth using in my opinion.

@PolarFox: http://www.gplusphotopages.com/news.p...eadmore=65

Many people do not want to have to create an account to comment on a site. This offers a powerful alternative.

I've since discovered it doesn't differentiate between articles.php?id=5 and articles.php so it's not really suitable atm. I have emailed them about this and they've passed it on to their engineering team. If there is no fix the only solution would be a URL Rewrite mod to a site.
