    @Blake I know that Wordpress has a widget that does that so I guess if you checked the code for that maybe? I'm not much of a code junkie :P

    How did you get Disqus to import your old comments? Mine just says "Unprocessed" after I imported them...
  • Not sure what the Disqus problem is. It just worked for me when I
    followed the instructions on their site. You might want to follow up
    with them.
  • Looks great. Very personalized look. Nice job!
  • madboarder
    How did you make it so that it displays the text posts on your front page instead of the thumbnails? I love your header photo.
  • @madboarder do you have any idea how to add another RSS feed to the side bar? I want just the titles to show up.
  • I edited the index.php page.

    Originally it looked like this:
    [
    <div class="home fix">
    <div class="main">
    <div class="fix">

    <div class="post" id="post-&lt;?php the_ID(); ?&gt;">


    <div class="thumb main">


    ID, 'thumbnail', true); ?>
    <img alt="" src="&lt;?php echo $image; ?&gt;">



    <div class="thumb-title">
    <h2>
    </h2>
    </div>


    </div>
    </div>



    <div class="post single">
    <h2>No matching results</h2>
    <div class="entry">

    You seem to have found a mis-linked page or search query with no associated or related results.


    </div>
    </div>

    ]



    And I changed it to this:
    [
    <div class="home fix">
    <div class="main">
    <div class="fix">

    <div class="post single fix" id="post-&lt;?php the_ID(); ?&gt;">
    <h2></h2>
    <div class="postMeta">

    // //
    </div>

    <div class="entry">
    Read the rest of this entry ยป

    '); ?>



    </div>




    </div>


    ]</div></div></div></div></div></div>
  • Testing Disqus...
  • Looks awesome. I would definitely use DISQUS and I would keep the font title, it looks sweet as is.
    Well done.
  • You didn't see the title font until I already changed it ;-) Compare the site with the screen shot above. (screen shot was the older font)
  • You're right. After I figured out how to import all the old comments, DISQUS was a definite improvement. I liked how you summed it up on your blog (http://ryanagraves.com/08/29/2...
  • I'm thinking I'll add in the Disqus plugin tomorrrow, and I'll probably change that title font...
