Disqus and Squarespace Comments Together at Last
Anyone with a Squarespace blog will tell you that, traditionally, the Squarespace commenting system has left something to be desired. Luckily, Squarespace 6 will bring an end to clunky captas and limited commenting options. Not only will Squarespace offer a completely revamped commenting system to accompany their new platform launch, but they'll also be introducing a one-click integration with the popular commenting system, Disqus.
Installing Disqus on a Squarespace 6 Blog
Installing Disqus on a Squarespace blog has always been possible with a little tweaking, but now it couldn't be easier with Squarespace 6. The first thing you need to do is register your blog and create an account on Disqus. It's a simple process. Then, enter your Disqus Shortname for your blog in the corresponding field in the General Settings of Squarespace 6. That's it. Squarespace is going out of their way to make it easy to have an amazing blog or website with powerful features and extensibility.
Seemless Disqus Integration with Squarespace 6
I recently tried out the new Disqus comments on Squarespace 6 on my KoiStory.com blog about koi fish. I have to say that I'm impressed so far. Squarespace pulled in Disqus without any effort on my part after simply pasting in my Disqus Shortname.
What do you think about the new Squarespace 6 and Disqus comments integration? I've started publishing on KoiStory.com, despite Squarespace's warning that everything is still in beta. I guess it's my way of wanting to use the new platform. Do extra features like one-click Disqus integration make it seem worth the wait?

DISQUS comment system is very easy to implement in a WordPress blog. I found it an effective spam fighter for my website TechPuffs. Check it out.
I'm considering moving my site to Squarespace 6. I like the idea of using the new comment system for SEO reasons. Is there anyway to import the old Disquis comments from my site into the new SS6 commenting system?
@Maya - Not 100% sure about this but you might be able to transfer your comments over to Squarespace 6 if a) the URL structure for your blog stays the same and b) the shortname for your Disqus account doesn't change. If you try it out let me know if it works.
DISQUS is very effective comment system so far. It is an effective spam fighter.
