[REBLOG] Enable comments in Tumblr

Comments are the big debate between Tumblr users… to use them or not?

At the moment Tumblr does not provide a comment function, but you can get them by adding some line of code in your template.

The first option: Flobbe Chatbox (or anything similar)

Chatbox are more like…err… a chat. I would use them only on certain posts.

The second one: Linebuzz

From the website: LineBuzz gives blog readers the ability to post comments directly on the text of a blog entry. A blog author simply installs one line of JavaScript and LineBuzz is activated.

I tried it on my personal tumblr… it’s great for quotes. Users highlight what a part of content, and they can drop a comment. Main backdraw… users need to register to linebuzz.com (argh, yet another registration!)

There is a third-old-school option. Receive comments by email and manually add them to your post. I occasionaly saw that on Useit.com
