+## Comments
+
+Ed theme now supports adding a comments system to your site, enhancing interactive engagement. Currently, the theme supports integration with {{< link src="https://giscus.app/" class="external" target="_blank" hreflang="en" rel="noopener noreferrer" >}}giscus{{< /link >}}.
+
+### giscus
+
+{{< link src="https://giscus.app/" class="external" target="_blank" hreflang="en" rel="noopener noreferrer" >}}giscus{{< /link >}} is a comments system powered by {{< link src="https://docs.github.com/en/discussions/" class="external" target="_blank" hreflang="en" rel="noopener noreferrer" >}}GitHub Discussions{{< /link >}}. It leverages GitHub's infrastructure to provide a free, open source platform for comments.
+
+To enable Giscus in your Hugo site, you must first add configuration settings in the site's YAML configuration file (`config/_default/params.yaml`). Below is a template for setting up giscus, which includes enabling the system and specifying necessary identifiers that link your site with the Giscus service:
+
+To enable giscus, you need to add the following to the site configuration file:
+
+~~~ yaml
+params:
+ comments:
+ enable: true # Set to false to disable comments globally
+ type: giscus
+
+ giscus:
+ # Required parameters:
+ # Replace with your repository
+ repo: 'your-github-username/repository-name'
+ # Repository ID from Giscus setup
+ repoId: 'repository-ID'
+ # Discussion category
+ category: 'Announcements'
+ # Category ID from Giscus setup
+ categoryId: 'category-ID'
+
+ # Optional parameters:
+ #
+ # ...
+~~~
+
+You can obtain the `repoId` and `categoryId` by configuring your repository on the {{< link src="https://giscus.app/" class="external" target="_blank" hreflang="en" rel="noopener noreferrer" >}}giscus setup page{{< /link >}}. More details can also be found there.
+
+#### Enabling/Disabling Comments on Individual Pages
+
+Comments can be enabled or disabled on a per-page basis using the front matter of individual pages. Here's how you can enable comments for a specific page:
+
+~~~ yaml
+---
+title: About
+comments: true
+---
+~~~
+
+#### Styling Comments
+
+By default, giscus will inherit the styling from your GitHub discussion forum. However, you can customize the appearance to better fit your site's design by specifying a `theme` parameter in the giscus configuration block:
+
+~~~ yaml
+params:
+ comments:
+ giscus:
+ # Required parameters:
+ #
+ # ...
+
+ # Optional parameters:
+ theme: dark
+~~~
+
+#### Localization
+
+giscus supports multiple languages, and you can set the desired language for your comments section through the `lang` parameter:
+
+
+~~~ yaml
+params:
+ comments:
+ giscus:
+ # Required parameters:
+ #
+ # ...
+
+ # Optional parameters:
+ lang: fr
+~~~
+
+---
+
+This enhancement to the Ed theme allows you to leverage the power of community discussions directly on your site, making it more dynamic and engaging for visitors.
