I wanted to add that the code above can also be used in blogs.

Please follow our blogging tutorial (http://www.synthasite.com/tutorials/b...) to see our instructions for adding comments to your blog. If you'd like, you can use the code I included above rather than the Disqus code - try out both services and see which one fits your needs best!

How to easily add comments to your SynthaSite pages

We’ve had several people ask recently how to add comments to your website. While we don’t yet have an integrated solution, the folks over at http://js-kit.com have a great solution that’s easy to implement. There’s no intricate setup needed on your part, and the comments will automatically take on the appearance (such as text color) of the rest of your site.

To allow your users to add comments to your page:
1. Open your site in the SynthaSite site builder
2. On the page that you want to add comments to, drag the “HTML” icon onto the correct location in your page – the html widget will pop up.
3. Copy the following two lines of code onto that page and click “OK”:


<div class="js-kit-comments" permalink=""></div>

<script src="http://js-kit.com/comments.js"></script>


The comments will be tracked automatically by js-kit and be tied to that page’s URL – if you add it to other pages, those pages will have their own set of comments. When you create the page, js-kit will know that you’re the owner – only you will have the ability to moderate posts.

This easy solution should meet the needs of most people I’ve seen asking, but I look forward to seeing your feedback!

Hi River - it could take up to 48 hours the first time you publish your site to a domain that you owned previously. If you just published for the first time today, it'll show up soon!

Chris marked one of Marije's replies in Yola as useful. Marije replied to the question "How many sites are you allowed to build on synthasite?".

Chris replied on November 22, 2008 05:04 to the question "¿how long does it take for my published site to go "live"?" in Yola:

To add on to Marije's post, the delay I mentioned only applies for the first time you publish to a custom domain. Each subsequent publish should take a matter of seconds.

Chris replied on November 22, 2008 01:00 to the question "¿how long does it take for my published site to go "live"?" in Yola:

Hi Erimor - depending on a number of factors, it could take up to 48 hours to go live. However, it usually only takes a matter of hours - keep checking and I hope it's up soon!

Chris replied on November 21, 2008 00:26 to the question "Can I get an employee to help with this? NO tutorial advice either, i've done that and its not helping" in Yola:

Hi Digger - can you explain what you mean by "blocked URL"?

I've heard that this will show up in some AdSense accounts - if this is the case, then it is nothing to worry about. It's not costing you any revenue - it only means that AdSense is trying to crawl your preview page when you're designing your page.

Is this the message that you were referring to? If not, please let me know and we'll try to help out.

Chris replied on November 18, 2008 22:20 to the question "Space bar and _ when establishing spaces in boxes like ALT, PAGE TITLE, and DESCRIPTION" in Yola:

Hi Bengo - when entering information for META tags, you can either use a simple space in between the words or use a comma. Either one is the same to search engines and other crawlers.

Chris replied on November 15, 2008 20:25 to the question "How do I fix errors for URLs in my sitemap reported by google webmaster tools?" in Yola:

Hi - I would also check your webmaster tools account to make sure you only have one sitemap submitted. If you do, then Google will probably catch up in the next couple of weeks.

Chris replied on November 15, 2008 19:41 to the question "How do I fix errors for URLs in my sitemap reported by google webmaster tools?" in Yola:

Hi, Did you submit the sitemap that SynthaSite created for you as explained in the Webmaster Tools tutorial at http://www.synthasite.com/tutorials/g... ?

Your sitemap is located at http://cosmicsensorium.com/sitemap.xml, and I don't see either of those files in the sitemap.

If you didn't submit the sitemap I mentioned, then I suggest doing that. If you did submit the correct one, then I would just give Google a little bit of time to figure things out.

The 404 errors on WMT aren't a big deal - they just mean that Google can't find a couple of pages that you're directing it to. If those files don't matter to you, as in this case, then there shouldn't be any negative impact.

A comment on the question "Google site map submission question?" in Yola:

Verification on WMT is for the whole site - you don't have to do it on every page.

Good luck with your site! – Chris, on November 10, 2008 23:23

A comment on the question "Google site map submission question?" in Yola:

That will work, but I suggest using the meta tag like mentioned in the tutorial I linked above - it's a bit easier and quicker in my experience. – Chris, on November 10, 2008 22:59

Chris replied on November 10, 2008 22:50 to the question "Google site map submission question?" in Yola:

Since your URL is in your name, I figure it's okay to post more detailed information here. Your Sitemap is located at http://www.anonyman.synthasite.com/si... , and you can submit this URL to Google Webmaster tools after you've verified your site.

We don't have an automated way to verify sites or submit the sitemap, but we do create the sitemap automatically for you.

Does this answer your question?

Chris replied on November 10, 2008 22:43 to the question "Google site map submission question?" in Yola:

Hi,

SynthaSite automatically creates a sitemap for you that you can submit to Google. It's located at EXAMPLE.synthasite.com/sitemap.xml - you have to replace EXAMPLE with your own address.

If you have any questions about submitting your site to Google, please check out our tutorial at http://www.synthasite.com/tutorials/g... .

Chris replied on November 07, 2008 22:16 to the question "A Shortened Name For Synthasite" in Yola:

Hey Derrick - Right now the only option is a subdomain of synthasite.com. If you do want to shorten your URL, you can now purchase your own domain for $14.95/year - I'm sure you can find a good, short, domain!
