How To Add Disqus On Blogger?

Step 1: First of all go to the Disqus signup page. You can sign up through your social media profile (Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus). There is another option to signup using an email address. I recommend signup using email. So fill up the boxes with username, email, and password. Now click on the signup button. In the next step, Disqus will ask to choose the type of your account. Click on “I want to install Disqus on my site”.

Step 2: Here you will be asked to provide your website name and category. Website name will create your unique Disqus permalink as: “yourblogname.disqus.com”. You can also customize your URL by clicking on the “Customize Your URL” link to custimize your own Disqus Shortname. Choose a category for your Disqus account and click on the “Create Site” button.

Step 3: Now Disqus will ask about your website’s platform. Most popular blogging platforms will be shown to you. You have to choose (Click on) “Blogger” or any platform you want to install Disqus into, in this case we are using as shown below.
