Comment Changes:
I have finally fixed the comment issues with my blog. I apologize to everyone who had problems (even I had problems). I've gone back to blogger comments but my problems had nothing to do with my switch from IntenseDebate to Disqus and from Disqus to blogger. My problems had everything to do with my template. It took a long time reproducing my template to find the issue but I finally found it. Notice the missing brown background behind the sidebar...
My thoughts on IntenseDebate and Disqus: I switched from the IntenseDebate comment system because I felt like the system had been abandoned by its developers and support was lacking. I really really loved Disqus. If you are looking for a comment system, I would choose Disqus hands down. I loved how quickly support responded to me and it was an easy system to work with.
Ultimately, I wanted my comments to belong to me and I didn't want to worry getting my comments back if I didn't like a system or if a system stopped supporting a feature. With the changes made by blogger and the issues with my comments, it seemed the perfect time to switch back to blogger.
IntenseDebate Users... IntenseDebate does not currently have a method for you get your comments back to blogger BUT you can import them to Disqus. If you import your comments to Disqus and then sync (it's an option) them to blogger. All your comments will return to blogger. You can keep Disqus or delete it but you will have all your comments.Black History Month Reminder:
