Penguin Classics A Tumblr Theme

I’ve noticed quite a few people trying to integrate comments into the Penguin Classics theme and struggling with some layout issues. My theme code is a little crazy and certainly didn’t make it easy to integrate, so I’ve just spent a little time setting the theme up to work with Disqus.

I’ve tested it reasonably carefully, but there may be some quirks here and there. You can let me know in the comments if you come across something that needs attention — I’ll try and keep an eye on it.

To install, you’ll need download version 1.2 of the theme code, then sign up to Disqus and add a new blog. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to replace the two instances of ##_REPLACE_ME_### (Lines 630 & 645) in the theme code with the Disqus subdomain you set up a second ago. So:

http://disqus.com/forums/##_REPLACE_ME_###/embed.js

Becomes:

http://disqus.com/forums/your_disqus_subdomain_here/embed.js

That should be all you need to do, at least I think that’s all you need to do. Most of the customisation you can do within Disqus should work, though I haven’t test it all yet.

You can still download the v1.1 theme if comments aren’t your thing, it’s identical, just with slightly less discussion.

Enjoy.
