Heyo everyone! Sorry for being gone for so long. I wanted to take May off to focus on life. I managed to write something to post on June 1st, but I haven’t finished editing it due to recent events that have happened. I’m also currently moving so shit has been delayed. Expect me to be off for a bit longer, possibly 2 weeks. With that said I finally added a working comment system. It’s Disqus, so it wasn’t hard to implement. If you’re wondering why I landed on Disqus, then keep on reading. It’s a tale of me getting banned from a few APIs and weird production errors.

Images work!?
It took some time but I finally fixed images, at least I hope so. Let me know if you can see the image or not. It is below the “read more” to prevent the front page from running on forever.

It took my lazy ass long enough but I finally fixed the comment section. For some reason none of the icons properly display but I am working on that. Right now you can login with either Twitter or Google. The blue circle is for Twitter and the orange is for Google. After you login you seem to need to refresh and then you can comment. I’ve not figured out why you need to refresh but there you go. Feel free to argue and disagree with me.
Why did I choose to use Twitter and Google? Well, I want to add more social media logins but I am working on fixing the icon issues right now. As for why I am choosing social media logins: I don’t want to expose your personal information just for you to comment on my blog. This way you can use a company you trust the most with your information. You also don’t have to worry about me selling your private information or anything. I don’t even get your email address if you login with a non-Google account. Google automatically submits it to me for some reason. Point is this is the most secure way I can offer a comment system.
