How do you guys generally setup commenting feature with Jekyll? Do you use an external commenting service or is Jekyll able to handle it alone? (maybe through plugins?)

I know Jekyll is in the domine of static website generators, but it also says it's "blog aware" so...

1) Use Disqus/LiveFyre

2) Using GitHub issues (or some other role-your-own system): http://ivanzuzak.info/2011/02/18/github-hosted-comments-for-...

3) Go without comments - your blog is YOUR space on the web, if others want to respond, let them do it in their own space

4) Use https://moot.it

+1 to this.

I have been using moot since a few days after the beta. It is absolutely fantastic. Great support, too.

I built a restful comment json service in rails as well as some light javascript in Jekyll that handles the display and jsonp requests. Whole thing took me a day and is far better than being dependent on disqus.

I didn't add any authentication or spam blocking, but that wasn't in scope for my needs.

sound interesting! I don't like being dependent on disqus, too. Can you show how, please?
