Disqus has many integrations available which make installation easy. The most popular integrations also come with built-in importing and syncing tools so you can bring in your old comments as well. Before installing, make sure you have registered a Disqus shortname, and this will be used to reference all of your comments and settings.

2. Click inside the text area and search for the widget you just created in your HTML template by pressing Ctrl-F then typing Disqus. You should find the following line:
<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Disqus' type='HTML'>
3. Change that line to add mobile=’yes’ to load Disqus on your mobile template. It will look like this when you’re done:
<b:widget id=’HTML1′ locked=’false’ mobile=’yes’ title=’Disqus’ type=’HTML’>

<b:includable id='main'> <!-- only display title if it's non-empty --> <b:if cond='data:title != ""'> <h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2> </b:if> <div class='widget-content'> <data:content/> </div> <b:include name='quickedit'/> </b:includable>
