Not sure what the Disqus problem is. It just worked for me when I
followed the instructions on their site. You might want to follow up
with them.

@Blake I know that Wordpress has a widget that does that so I guess if you checked the code for that maybe? I'm not much of a code junkie :P

How did you get Disqus to import your old comments? Mine just says "Unprocessed" after I imported them...

@madboarder do you have any idea how to add another RSS feed to the side bar? I want just the titles to show up.

You didn't see the title font until I already changed it ;-) Compare the site with the screen shot above. (screen shot was the older font)

I edited the index.php page.

Originally it looked like this:
[
<div class="home fix">
<div class="main">
<div class="fix">

ID, 'thumbnail', true); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt=""/>

</div>
</div>

<div class="post single">
<h2>No matching results</h2>
<div class="entry">

You seem to have found a mis-linked page or search query with no associated or related results.

</div>
</div>

]

And I changed it to this:
[
<div class="home fix">
<div class="main">
<div class="fix">

<div class="entry">
Read the rest of this entry »

'); ?>

</div>

]

How did you make it so that it displays the text posts on your front page instead of the thumbnails? I love your header photo.

You're right. After I figured out how to import all the old comments, DISQUS was a definite improvement. I liked how you summed it up on your blog (http://ryanagraves.com/08/2...

Testing Disqus...

Looks awesome. I would definitely use DISQUS and I would keep the font title, it looks sweet as is.
Well done.

I'm thinking I'll add in the Disqus plugin tomorrrow, and I'll probably change that title font...
