Commenting on tumblr

[Kaiomi]

I've tried about three different commenting systems, but haven't found one that looks really seamless on the page.

Does anyone have some recommendations?

I´m planning use Disqus too, most of the people uses it.

Hi Kaiomi,

Try out JS-Kit its very easy to implement and send you an email every time someone leaves a comment which is cool. You will need to add it to your custom theme entry. take a look at the link bellow to see what it looks like on my blog:

Tumblr Hacks actually uses JSKit, but it's to slow.

As long as you just display 1 post per page you are fine, but with 2 or more you will see portion on JSKit not loading.

I'm trying out a disqus on my book tumblr: http://readingsucks.tumblr.com

We'll see how it goes.

I think that's a great idea for your reading blog.

BTW -- it's great! I'm enjoying your posts and reviews.

Just wanted to add my support for Diqus too. It is very simple to implement. What I like most is that I can run my Shared News feed from Google Reader, through Tumblr and enable comments on those items (and other Tumblr posts as well or course). In theory I think the possibilities for having a conversation about things that have my attention are exciting - but I have yet to find anyone in the world interested enough to leave a comment (guess I need to work on being more interesting!).

Yes! I think I finally have it figured out and am pretty happy with it.

However, I think I'm having trouble being interesting as well hahahaha.

Ah well, just because people don't comment doesn't mean they aren't enjoying your content. : )

I don't understand why they don't just implement a comment feature, perhaps they will soon. I know that people don't like comments but a simple switch comments on/off would get past that.
