Setting up a Commenting Service

Minos supports a wide variety of commenting services for you to gather readers’ feedbacks. To enable and configure a commenting service, you should insert or edit the comment section in the configuration file (e.g. _config.yml). The following sections describe available options for each supported commenting service. Also, you may need to refer to the vendor’s installation instructions for actual values of your options.
