+## Blog comments system
+
+We added support for [giscus](https://github.com/laymonage/giscus), [utterances](https://github.com/utterance/utterances) or disqus.
+To enable, simply configure `siteMetadata.js` comments property with the desired provider and settings as specified in the config file.
+
+```js
+comment: {

+    giscusConfig: {

 ## Multiple authors
 
 Information on authors is now split from `siteMetadata.json` and stored in its own `data/authors` folder as a markdown file. Minimally, you will need to have a `default.md` file with authorship information. You can create additional files as required and the file name will be used as the reference to the author.
