+
+Hugo ships with support for [Disqus](https://disqus.com/), a third-party service that provides comment and community capabilities to websites via JavaScript.
+
+Your theme may already support Disqus, but if not, it is easy to add to your templates via [Hugo's built-in Disqus partial][disquspartial].
+
+## Add Disqus
+
+Hugo comes with all the code you need to load Disqus into your templates. Before adding Disqus to your site, you'll need to [set up an account][disqussetup].
+
+### Configure Disqus
+
+Disqus comments require you set a single value in your [site's configuration file][configuration] like so:
+
+{{< code-toggle copy="false" >}}
+disqusShortname = "yourdiscussshortname"
+{{</ code-toggle >}}
+
+For many websites, this is enough configuration. However, you also have the option to set the following in the [front matter][] of a single content file:
+
+* `disqus_identifier`
+* `disqus_title`
+* `disqus_url`
+
+### Render Hugo's Built-in Disqus Partial Template
+
+See [Partial Templates][partials] to learn how to add the Disqus partial to your Hugo website's templates.
+
+## Comments Alternatives
+
+There are a few alternatives to commenting on static sites for those who do not want to use Disqus:
+
+* [Static Man](https://staticman.net/)
+* [txtpen](https://txtpen.com)
+* [IntenseDebate](http://intensedebate.com/)
+* [Graph Comment][]
+* [Muut](http://muut.com/)
+* [isso](http://posativ.org/isso/) (Self-hosted, Python)

+<!-- ## Kaiju
+
+[Kaiju](https://github.com/spf13/kaiju) is an open-source project started by [spf13](http://spf13.com/) (Hugo’s author) to bring easy and fast real time discussions to the web.
+
+Written using Go, Socket.io, and [MongoDB][], Kaiju is very fast and easy to deploy.
+
+It is in early development but shows promise. If you have interest, please help by contributing via pull request, [opening an issue in the Kaiju GitHub repository][kaijuissue], or [Tweeting about it][tweet]. Every bit helps. -->
