If you happen to have a blog at Tumblr one of the popular blogging platforms, you would notice that Tumblr does not provide the funtionality of Comments, Hence this is also debating issue among the Tumblr users whether to have comments or not.
Anyway, If you choose to have comments on your tumblelog then it’s made very easy with DISQUS, I recently started my personal Blog at Tumblr here and this was for the first time i started using both Tumblr and DISQUS services. DISQUS can also be used for other popular blogging applications like WordPress, Blogger etc. And it’s very powerful tool, I did hear about it before but never tested it out., If you notice Popular Tech Blog Mashable also use this service as their default commenting system. One of the nicest features of DISQUS is that it automatically integrates ‘Facebook Connect’ that allows facebook users to leave comments just with one click, they don’t have to sign up for DISQUS also If you feel bothered with signing up then you can leave comments anonyously too. DISQUS also provide the funtionality of leaving Video comments via integration with Seemic.
Anyway to enable comments in Tumblelog, You would first need to sign up with DISQUS and from there you would need follow on-screen instructions. Just enter the URL of your Blog, description and Nickname it, that’s it. At the end you would be asked to choose the platform of your blog i.e WordPress, Blogger and in our Case it’s Tumblr and there you would get little piece of ‘code’ to insert inside your Tumblelog template it’s as easy as pie nothing to worry about the tutorial is very much self-explantory. And That’s it. Have fun with your tumblelog :-}
Thank you for sharing this! I have been trying to figure out how to turn comments on inside of tumblr.
Oddly enough, I had chosen the exact same theme as you did, Vertigo, which was nice to see the function of it as well.
Thanks again!
You are welcome mate, thanks for stopping by.
Is this very tool I’m using for this comment powered by disqus?
Because it doesn’t look like the regular disqus one (no logo, no disqus log in, etc).
Thanks for the tip!
Sorry, what I meant was: I don’t really fancy disqus, I wonder if I could use something like this, simple WP comment tool in my tumblr.
Thanks!
Imran,
Thanks for pointing me toward Disqus.
Can I manually change the padding between the Disqus comment link and the previous posts’ title?
They seem to be overlapping :/
Hmm, I looked there first but no luck.
It’s not so much the layout of the comments, but rather the location of the link to the comments.
I should make a post in their help forum. Thanks for the quick response Imran.
Yups !

That’s what is nice in disqus…You can edit your comments many times.
good afternoon imran. first of all thank you for telling us how to add comments on our thumblr’s. but i got a problem. when i have them installed, it doesnt matched with the size of my tables-blog. i mean, the area to type a comment is way too big and it doesnt look ok. do you know how to fix this please? thank you.
Thanks for dropping by, i checked your blog and yes it way too wide… may be it’s an issue with the theme, i suggest to try another theme.
Now I have got disqus commenting system for this blog too.
That is why I like Disqus so much. It offers so much flexibility and features that not a single user could complain. Everybody has everything he/she wants. Isn't that great?

hey there,
would like to ask on how to paste the disqus codes onto the vertigo template..because i have been trying to follow the instructions but then it just doesn’t work. i could even find the /post thing that disqus guides with
I simply followed the instructions given by Disqus and it was running on my Tumblr blog… Just read the instructions again ‘carefully’
this is an excellent post. Thank you so much
Tumblr is a re-envisioning of tumblelogging, a subset of blogging that uses quick, mixed-media posts. The service hopes to do for the tumblelog what services like LiveJournal and Blogger did for the blog.acnee
Disqus is a popular commenting platform and it is happy thing that Disqus is connected to Facebook because I am looking for a quick and easy way to implement Facebook as well as Disqus…
Disqus lets you easily track all comments you have left scattered over the blogosphere.
Thank you
I think the most striking feature of DISQUS is how it perform in all the blogs I work on. Pretty fast for a commenting system.
Disqus is really an amazing tool. It’s cool that you switched for it. You will probably benefit from it’s great community.
DISQUS is a great commenting plug-in it is easy to new person as well as DISQUS has measures to prevent spammers..
Disqus allows threaded conversations that are easy to follow and join.Disqus is prevent spammers.
Disqus is the top commenting platform in my opinion. Not only is Facebook Connect integration nice but allowing users to also use their Twitter accounts to leave comments is awesome.
One of the main advantages Disqus is; it has is the ability for users to login with Facebook Connect where the comments also appear in the commentators newsfeed, which has the capacity to go viral.
I preferred the look of the old comment system, however I love the fact we have threaded commenting now.

Over one year later, this post is still very helpful
I just started a tumblog and this post was really helpful for adding a comment section.
Thanks Imran
I love disqus,It’s really useful

Thanks Imran. Sometimes all you needs is a quick threaded comment system.
i’m trying to add comments to my blog. i signed up with disqus and all that, but it never gave me the code to insert into my tumblr! where can i find this?!
So far what i know disqus is the best option available for integrating comments into tumblr… it’s better than no comments
You can only manage the layout of comments in the backend at disqus.com… they let you configure it.
