Disqus offers enhanced commenting features for your Squarespace site, including conversation threads and image comments. Here's how to set it up properly:

Create Your Disqus Shortname:

1. Log in to Disqus
2. Click "Add Disqus to your site"
3. Select "I want to install Disqus on my site"
4. Enter your website name as the shortname
5. Choose a category
6. Click "Create site"
7. Select a plan or start trial
8. Choose "Squarespace" platform
9. Copy your shortname

Install on Squarespace:

1. Open Blog Preferences
2. Paste your Disqus shortname
3. Click Save
4. Enable global comments in Comment Settings

Important Considerations:

• Comments are URL-specific
• Use HTTPS version of primary domain
• Add domain as trusted in Disqus
• Enable comments on individual posts
• Visitors need Disqus, Facebook, Twitter, or Google accounts to comment

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Verify you have a Website account (not User account)
• Ensure shortname is correctly added
• Check URL matches Disqus account
• Previous Squarespace comments won't transfer
• Ajax-enabled templates may cause display issues

For customization options and appearance settings, refer to Disqus documentation.
