Disqus Comments, Lijit Search, Better Sidebars and Lederhosen

October 3rd, 2008 | blogging

Spent a little bit of time working with Disqus and Lijit today to learn how to best help the members of HighCallingBlogs.com. Did you realize we have more than 200 bloggers in that network now? Seriously.

So, I’m curious what you all think of the two new bits I added today.

First, and cooliest is

LIJIT

Besides cleaning up the sidebars, I worked with the wonderful people of Lijit.com to test a network search for all of highcallingblogs.com. On my blog it replaces the search field. On other blogs, there is a special widget. (L. L. Barkat already installed the Lijit wijit over at Seedlings in Stone even though she just got back from Paris.)

I met the Lijit people at Blogworld and Godblog in Las Vegas, and they were wonderful to work with. I cannot speak highly enough of my experiences with them. Absolutely incredible. And their service is already being used by b5media. So after I’ve made my list of justifications for their product, I can always just say, “Well, if it’s good enough for b5media…”

Second, and still cool but without the added benefit of Lijit’s shockingly wonderful customer service, is

DISQUS

The verdict is still out on Disqus, but it looks very promising. So, let’s give it a try this weekend to see if you like it. Here’s what I’d like you to do. Leave a comment here telling me if you think I should keep wearing lederhosen or not. When you do, see what you think of the disqus plugin.
