Back To The Basics





This is not a comparison review just an FYI that I've moved back to the Blogger commenting platform. I think both Disqus and Blogger have equally good features but I wasn't happy about losing all my comments since I started Martinis & Bikinis in 2012.

That said, once I heard that Blogger had fixed the issues that lasted for months, I decided to switch back to the original platform. With Disqus, I didn't like the fact that you can't respond via email (even though that might eliminate the noreply@blogger.com comments that come through) but 6 years worth of comments and memories from other bloggers means a lot more to me than the past month or so.

Catch you tomorrow with some fashion fun!

  2. I cant believe all the issues people with blogger were having! I switched to wordpress a few years ago, and I really haven't looked back. I don't even remember what the blogger dashboard looks like lol. With that said, I have to be honest and say that the disqus emails I get all the time that aren't someone responding back to me are SUPER annoying. Even though blogger makes me mad and shows me as no reply even though I have fixed it a million times. Hopefully all that mess stays straightened out for you! I would have been so mad to lose all the comments too!

  3. Losing comments is what keeps me on Wordpress for life! I'm so worried to lose a ton of work and conversations!

  5. I'm so sad that my comments still aren't coming through my email, I can't believe how long it's taking Blogger to get their ish together! I would have been so upset to lose all my comments over the years by switching to Disquis, and I also don't like that your responses aren't private on that platform. Fingers crossed that I'll start seeing the comments coming to my email again <3

  6. It's annoying to lose comments but honestly I never once went back and read any comments - and if I wanted to for any reason, they're in my blogger dashboard - so I'm just going with it. I am still annoyed with the entire thing.
