Adding Disqus to Content Plus

Disqus is a comments platform that helps you build an active community from your website's audience. It has awesome features, powerful tools, and it's easy to install. A few quick edits, and you too can add the powerful features of Disqus comments to all of your Content Plus content (Disqus registration required).
