If you’re using the DISQUS comment system for your website or blog you may have some styling changes you’ve always wanted to make, but haven’t figured out exactly how to do so. Thanks to Adam Karas—the author of the only comprehensible guide on styling DISQUS—you no longer have to live a with a half-styled site.

Karas makes this very easy, but I thought I would add a note for anyone using The Thesis Theme for WordPress. Thesis will jive with this very easily, so long as you paste the header code into the “Header Scripts” box on the Thesis Options page. Then, simply create a disqus-form.css file in the Thesis “Custom” folder where your custom.css and custom-functions.php file reside.

That’s it, you’re done.

  • What's cool about Disqus is that it makes it painlessly easy to comment, and does a good job at blocking spam..
  • Disqus works wordpress is awesome and it's provides tight integration with Blogger, WordPress, Typepad, MT and Tumblr.
  • Anyone can rate comments. Did you notice that? There are up and down arrows next to each person’s comment. Sure, you have to register with Disqus, but this nice for lurkers who don’t want to join the discussion.
  • Disqus is by far the best comment system that we can get for free. Besides having a lot of awesome gadgets it also has the best support there is.
  • Disqus is an excellent commenting system.. it especially makes it easier for regular bloggers to post.Disqus is awesome with twitter,facebook and open id
