Comments Can Be Blog Posts

We think so too.

A lot of great conversation goes on in comments that shouldn’t be stuck behind the fold. Publishing these back to traditional blogs is a great way to bring attention to great content. It needs to happen more often.

That’s why we’ve been trying to make it even easier.

Announcing Reblogging on DISQUS

Now on comments throughout DISQUS, you can find a reblog link where you can publish a quotation of the comment to your blog. This quote is cited with the original author, the blog where it originally appeared, and a link back to the original comment to give the discussion full context.

At the moment, we’re supporting publishing to Wordpress, Movable Type, TypePad, and Tumblr with more platforms to come.

So next time you see a comment that everyone really needs to read, give it a whirl. We’re excited to see more good content bubble to the surface.

  • chrisgrogan
    It looks like Tumblr and wordpress has greater advantages in Disqus as most of the features are created mostly for their users.
  • I have not try out the reblogged features.It's relatively new to me. My comment to this reblog feature is that it is awesome.However, I have read through the article and it states that "we can publish a quotation of the comment to our blog". Which means we are not able to blog the whole comment ?

    I am glad to see that Disqus is working on unfolding features that users are asking for. Reblogged features are a relieved for all commenters as their comments will not be just it. Now they might become a famous commenter , just like a famous blogger.
  • jonaw
    Reblogged features are not commonly seen and thus, I felt that it's certainly a brilliant idea. Giving people a chance to reblog comments that are superb and original commenter will also gain popularity in the mean time.

    As what most commenters have commented, I believed there are more to be added on this reblogged features to further enhance the usability.
  • aprilwoods
    We do not need to edit the templates of our blogs right?To have the reblogged feature working
  • Janliao
    Are there a tracking system to show which comments we have reblogged?
  • This reblogged features is great! Probably a counter should be added so that the original commenter will know how many times it has been reblogged.

    total gut danke noch
  • That is a really cool feature.
  • I like this feature. I often leave a comment somewhere and wish that I had just posted that on my blog, instead.

    Anyway, I came across this feature a few weeks ago, but forgot how it worked. I'm testing this now to find out. Hopefully, reBlog is enabled right now.
  • This will be great for the blog owners who may run out of topics to write....a chance take a breather. It will encourage guest to post blogs instead of just using the originating blog site as a platform to post comments.
  • Great Idea and very well put together video on the subject. I am going to have to try out reblogging comments.
  • Nice feature. But it will be much better if original commentator can receive a notification when reblogged.
  • Great news ! The video is very useful . Thanks for uploading it.
  • I just learnt about Disqus now, so i guess you were not so late. I checked and saw many people actually benefitting from it. So I also thought of using Disqus and give it a shot. Thanks for the great post.
  • This is a new feature that I very much like. Disqus seems to make it easyer for blogers day by day . Will be wanting moren more infos bout it though
  • test
    <a href="advanced.html" onClick="alert(document.cookie)">click here to test
  • ok - I'll bare myself as a techno dumby - so here goes.
    I followed the Disqus Install instructions (twice) to edit my Blogger template to 'put Disqus on my site' but saw no physical difference at the site after I ran a test comment to one of my blog posts.
    From the perspective of knowing zilch about Disqus prior to doing this it appeared to me that I spent most of my time setting up yet another social networking membership site at my new Disqus membership page.
    What am I missing?
  • Michael,

    Could you email your template to help@disqus.com so I can see what is going on. It should be a quick setup on blogger.

  • meaning of success
    I love disqus :)
  • Interesting Idea. At first I thought you were going the Active Rain road with the rebloging thing but this is better.
  • Thanks for making it all simple. Now even a caveman / woman:) can do it.
  • great idea! is there a certain points or say a reward if you lots of takers or many users reblog your comment?
