13:20	Forth Haiku Comments Using Disqus + Blog - Brad Nelson "Disqus provides an easy to use mechanism to add user feedback to a website. It proved easy to add to the Forth Haiku site, allowing me to add a much needed way for users of the site to communicate and provide feedback. I'll talk about why this was a good fit, show how easy Disqus is to connect to a site, and demo the revised site."
