How to enable and disable comments on Squarespace
Creating a platform for conversation with your website visitors is a great way to gain trust, position you as a go-to source for information and allow your audience to grow. Your blog is a huge gateway to accessing a new audience and keeping up with an existing one. An effective way we do this through our blog is by interacting with the comments.
If you have a blog for your business or brand, we highly recommend enabling your comments on your content. You may not know, but Squarespace often has these disabled by default—read on to find out how to enable comments on your Squarespace blog!
