### Comments
Commenting for [**Disqus**](https://disqus.com/), [**Facebook**](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments), and **Google+** are built into the theme. First set the comment provider you'd like to use:
* `disqus`: Disqus
* `facebook`: Facebook Comments
* `google-plus`: Google+
* `custom`: other comment providers
Then add `comments: true` to each document you want comments visible on.
Instead of adding YAML Front Matter to each document, apply as a default in `_config.yml`. To enable comments for all posts:
```yaml
defaults:
# _posts
- scope:
path: ""
type: posts
values:
comments: true
```
If you add `comments: false` to a post's YAML Front Matter it will override the default and disable comments for just that post.
##### Disqus
To use Disqus you'll need to create an account and get a [shortname](https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466208-what-s-a-shortname-). Once you have one update `_config.yml` to:
```yaml
comments:
provider: "disqus"
disqus:
shortname: "your-disqus-shortname"
```
##### Facebook Comments
To enable Facebook Comments choose how many comments you'd like visible per post and the color scheme of the widget.
```yaml
comments:
provider : "facebook"
facebook:
appid : # optional
num_posts : # 5 (default)
colorscheme : # "light" (default), "dark"
```
##### Other Comment Providers
To use another provider not included with the theme set `provider: "custom"` then add their embed code to `_includes/comments-providers/custom.html`.
### SEO, Social Sharing, and Analytics Settings
All optional, but a good idea to take the time setting up to activate various tools for optimizing your site for search engines and link sharing.
#### Google Search Console
Formerly known as [Google Webmaster Tools](https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/), add your [verification code](https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1142414?hl=en) like so: `google_site_verification: "yourVerificationCode"`.
**Note:** You likely won't have to do this if you verify site ownership through **Google Analytics** instead.

#### Bing Webmaster Tools
There are several ways to [verify site ownership](https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/how-to-verify-ownership-of-your-site-afcfefc6) --- the easiest adding an authentication code to your config file.
Copy and paste the string inside of `content`:
```html
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="0FC3FD70512616B052E755A56F8952D" />
```
Into `_config.yml`
```yaml
bing_site_verification: "0FC3FD70512616B052E755A56F8952D"
```
#### Alexa
To [claim your site](http://www.alexa.com/siteowners/claim) with Alexa add the provided verification ID `alexa_site_verification: "yourVerificationID"`.
#### Yandex
To verify site ownership copy and paste the string inside of `name`:
```html
<meta name='yandex-verification' content='2132801JL' />
```
Into `_config.yml`
```yaml
yandex_site_verification: "2132801JL"
```
#### Analytics
Analytics is disabled by default. To enable globally select one of the following:
* `google`: [Google Standard Analytics](https://www.google.com/analytics/)
* `google-universal`: [Google Universal Analytics](https://www.google.com/analytics/)
* `custom`: other analytics providers
For Google Analytics also add your Tracking Code:
```yaml
analytics:
provider: "google-universal"
tracking_id: "UA-1234567-8"
```
To use another provider not included with the theme set `provider: "custom"` then add their embed code to `_includes/analytics-providers/custom.html`.
#### Twitter Cards and Open Graph Data
