Adding Comments to Your Franklin Blog with utteranc.es!

[TheCedarPrince]

Hi all!

With help from @vchuravy and @tlienart , I learned how to add comments to a Franklin Blog using utteranc.es!

1. Follow the guide provided here: https://utteranc.es
2. (From @vchuravy's blog) Add the following function to your command but replace the HTML string with the HTML string provided by step 1:

"""
    {{ addcomments }}

Add a comment widget, managed by utterances <https://utteranc.es>.
"""
function hfun_addcomments()

    html_string = """
    <script src="https://utteranc.es/client.js"
           repo="TheCedarPrince/thecedarprince.github.io"
           issue-term="url"
           label="post"
           theme="github-light"
           crossorigin="anonymous"
           async>
    </script>"""

    return html_string
end

3. On any blog page on your Franklin website, you can now write something like the following :

@def title = "Lord of the Flies"
@def slug = "04112022004224-lord-of-flies"
@def tags = ["summary", "book", "survival", "social", "critique"]

{{insert_note _assets/notes/04112022004224-lord-of-flies.md _assets/notes/zettel.bib}}

## Discussion:

{{addcomments}}

Now, enjoy your comments! Depending on how you configured your utteranc.es instance, the comments on your blog post will be mirrored to your repo! Here is an example:
