Implementing HaloScan Powered Comments
Posted on July 8th, 2008 by Greg Allard in Programming | Comments
For some time now, I’ve been using a Magic the Gathering card database for a testing bed for various things. Earlier today I learned about a service that will provide commenting functionality for your website. HaloScan was easy to set up even for a non-blog type website. It only required a few lines of pasted JavaScript code in two places to get it going.
My test page shows what the free service has to offer (rating, comments, trackbacks). With a small donation more services would be available, which might be something I would consider if I ever take the mtg website seriously.
This quick-to-set-up service will be another tool to help those that are trying to get webservices up quickly, like a few articles I’ve read recently.
I use webfaction to host a lot of my django projects. It has an easy setup that will get you developing quickly and a great community of talented programmers. There is also a quick setup for rails, wordpress, and a lot more.
