on the next screen.The Site name is important, so provide that, but the shortname is the critical component needed to tie your disqus account to your blogs. This is your Disqus URL for this example the shortname is ct20-ultracartstore-com.
The shortname only needs to be entered once at the top level blog settings. It does not need to be added to every blog or blog post. Each post is identified uniquely to Disqus through provided code, so there is nothing to configure on a per-post basis. The unique identification is done based on an internal integer value, but also includes the blog post title, so managing the comments via the Disqus back end tools is easy to do.
Your blog is now comment enabled.
Disqus has all the tools you need to manage comments. Login to their site to review, moderate, and manage your comments. https://disqus.com/home/settings/moderation/ contains settings for moderating your blog comments.
