One of the biggest Sustainability / CSR conferences has started in Amsterdam today.

Introducing the new commenting system

I have been looking for a better commenting system for my blog for a longer time now. I was and still am a big fan of Disqus but the recent plugin update somehow did not work for me anymore. So I set out to find a commenting system that incorporates as many social media channels as possible in order to provide you my reader with a multitude of possibilities to comment on my content.

And I am happy to say that I found a very good commenting system which I have now integrated on my blog. I am now able to provide you with a lot more options to comment on my blog. You can now use Google+, Facebook, Disqus and the old fashioned WordPress commenting option to provide me with your feedback.

This is a screenshot of the various options now. You as the reader can toggle between the four commenting options to use whatever social media channel you are most active in. I have highlighted Google+ in the screenshot below.
