| 5 One thing that annoyed me while [switching my blog to pelican](|filename|./blog-switched-to-pelican.md) was the lack of a good comment option. My motivation for self-hosting the blog is to have control over my data and that includes comments! The use of a cloud service like Disqus obviously defeats this purpose. | |

| 7 I sat down and did my own [pelican plugin for comments](https://github.com/dirk-olmes/simple_comments) back then. It was fun to learn how to write pelican plugins but I only ever finished a very basic implementation. | |

| 9 Recently, I stumbled over the [official pelican plugin for static comments](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/pelican_comment_system) and decided to give it a try. It turns out to be very similar in what I did but it's far more feature rich. So I ditched my plugin and switched over - that was easy. |
