Disqus installed

My boyfriend, who is actually a robot, complained that he was unable to get past the Captcha codes used in Blogger's comment system.  If it were anyone else I would have blown him off, but this is my boyfriend who is also a robot.

I tried turning off the Captcha codes, but this appears to increase the volume of spam I get.  So I'm trying something else: a Disqus comment system.  I chose Disqus because I already have an account and it's easy to implement.  There won't be threaded comments.  Old comments will be imported over soon enough. (Edit: Disqus appears to require threaded comments.  Old comments already imported.  Yes, you can still leave comments without an account.)

Please let me know if there are any problems.  If you can't comment, let me know by e-mail: skepticsplay at gmail dot com.  

If there are no significant problems, then I will stick with Disqus.  And to reduce confusion, I'll likely switch my name to "trivialknot", to match my Disqus handle.
