Gone are the days of manually coding links—just plunk in the URL and click post!Users can upload their own profile pics, subscribe to interesting threads via email, and even receive alerts when your friends and colleagues post anywhere on HNN!The new system also lets users “Like” the posts of other commenters. You can even sort the display of comments by the most popular (measured by the greatest number of “Likes”).How Do I Register for Disqus?Registration is a quick and easy process. Simply scroll down to the Disqus comments box at the bottom of any article on HNN and click Log In.
