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. + +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. + +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.
