It's more like a wordpress comment system and people can add their blog link as well if they want to. A reader doesn't have to join and it remembers them next time they come in. I hate disqus and the stupid blogger word verification - they are so unfriendly for commenting. Intense debate talks you through the process and I managed it even though I have no computer skills. also you can respond by email or on the blog and either way the original commenter sees the reply. It's a shame blogger doesn't just sort it out wordpress system is so much betterMiriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222932623391963935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-80487574454682011172013-09-02T19:08:05.015-04:002013-09-02T19:08:05.015-04:00Sorry late comment...I can't comment on iPad o...Sorry late comment...I can't comment on iPad on disqus and iPhones often have the same problem.

I really like Disqus as a blogger and commenter :) I like it because you can easily respond to comments and receive responses without having to check back to the post. Another thing I like is that when you are reading blogs through bloglovin', commenting with disqus doesn't take you out of the bloglovin' reading frame, whereas google does. It's just a small convenience, but overall I really like it! :)thequirkypeachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14887912210740059225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-80930502251320940542013-08-27T11:30:07.281-04:002013-08-27T11:30:07.281-04:00I am totally lazy and did not read the comments so...I am totally lazy and did not read the comments so this type of system may have been mentioned. I like The Actor's Diet blog's comment system where you just check that you are a human.

What I can tell about Disqus is that I've been using it scarcely in the past - only a few times.<br /><br />I love to choose between several options although I'm a member of a community which seems to be *hm* a little bit isolated in the blog world. For that reason I've tried my luck with wordpress although I haven't written there anything so far.<br /><br />Cheers<br />UlrikeUlrikehttp://blaupause7.blogger.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-10756154916431295892013-08-26T16:33:39.080-04:002013-08-26T16:33:39.080-04:00As some before has pointed out, if it is too troub...As some before has pointed out, if it is too troublesome to comment, I don't. And I loathe Disqus. It insists on being logged on all the time, even when I think I am out. As some others here, I distinguish strongly between idintities (work, hobby, blogging, leader of a group and so on), so if I have to use Disqus, well, I just don't. <br /><br />Don't mind captchas though. <br /><br />(AND I like the concept of contributing to the digitizing, but that's a minor reason.)<br /><br />Åse Randi (Ase Randi)<br />NorwayÅse Randinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-20827157787693574612013-08-26T08:29:52.097-04:002013-08-26T08:29:52.097-04:00I LOVE disqus!

I'm working with some mildly stretch cotton (only has give in one direction)and am having trouble with the curves. My presser foot seems to want to hang onto the fabric and not let me make them smoothly (bunching up)and I need smooth seams. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I do however, like the ones where they say "click this box to prove you're not a robot" since captcha can be a pain.
