| {% if page.comments %} | |
| <div class="comments"> | |
| <div id="disqus_thread"></div> | |
| <script> | |
| /** | |

| var disqus_config = function () { | |
| this.page.url = "{{ page.url | prepend: site.url }}"; // Replace PAGE_URL with your page's canonical URL variable | |
| this.page.identifier = "{{ page.url }}"; // Replace PAGE_IDENTIFIER with your page's unique identifier variable | |
| }; | |
| (function() { // DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE | |
| var d = document, s = d.createElement('script'); | |
| s.src = 'https://YOURSITENAME.disqus.com/embed.js'; | |
| s.setAttribute('data-timestamp', +new Date()); | |
| (d.head || d.body).appendChild(s); | |
| })(); | |
| </script> | |
