8# Blog comments

10If you followed [our previous example](./blog) you should have a

11simple blog accessible at `your-urbit.urbit.org/blog`. Here we'll

12enable comments on a post.

14First, turn comments on by editing the frontmatter in `post-1.umd`. Your frontmatter

15should look like this:

17```

18:- :~ navhome/'/blog'

19 type/'post'

20 date/'~2016.6.20'

21 title/'Blog comments'

22 comments/'true'

23 ==

25```

27Now try loading your post here: `your-urbit.urbit.org/blog/post-1`.

28You should see a comments box at the bottom of the page.

30Try posting a comment! When you do you should see the following in

31your console:

33```

34+ /~your-urbit/home/55/web/blog/post-1/comments/~2016.6.20..23.20.54..0b88/md

35------------[0]

36~your-urbit[tree]: receiving comments, ;join %comments for details

37```

39Comments are written into the filesystem in the `comments/` folder

40relative to the page they're enabled on. When a new comment is posted

41a notification is also posted to the `/comments` `:talk` channel.

43Use `;join` to keep up with comments as they get posted:

45```

46;join ~your-urbit/comments

47```

49That's it! Easy.
