title: Disqus comment box setup
body: <p>I am new to web building, and I am trying to set up disqus as a third party commenting system because they seem quite simple and the formatting is nice, I trying to set it up on dreamweaver CS6, but am lost as to how to set it up. These are the set up instructions on that come once I set up an account with them:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Place the following where you want disqus to load. </p>
  
  
  
  
  /* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */
      var disqus_shortname = 'yoursite'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname
  
  <pre><code>/* * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */
  (function() {
      var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
      dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
      (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
  })();
  </code></pre>
  
  
  
  Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="http://disqus.com/?ref_noscript" rel="nofollow">comments powered by Disqus.</a>
  
  <p>comments powered by Disqus</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Now the rest of how to install it completely are here at this link: <a href="http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/565624-tightening-your-disqus-integration" rel="nofollow">http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/565624-tightening-your-disqus-integration</a></p>
  
  <p>The main thing I don't get is this "#disqus_thread" thing. </p>
  
  <p>I am a first time web builder and have no idea what this all means, if someone could help me out that would be very much appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
