 * Hello,
 * Just wondering if someone would be able to help with a query I have about leaving
   comments on my blog?
 * I’ve noticed that since I’ve made the switch to self hosted, my comments have
   dropped. I think a lot of this is due to the fact that now it’s a bit more awkward
   to comment. Currently visitors have to leave their name/email and then comment,
   which for some people is putting them off.
 * On wordpress.com there’s a little option to sign in with social media, as well
   as your wordpress account. Is there a way to implement this on wordpress.org (
   apart from using Disqus)?
 * The blog is – beautyinbeta.co.uk
 * Thanks,
 * Beth

 * Hi, thanks! Is there a way to add the buttons like this person’s post for example-
   http://jennyadoresbeauty.wordpress.com/2014/11/12/november-cosy-at-home-brichbox-
   mini-product-review/ where you can login via wordpress, twitter etc, or is that
   not possible with wordpress.org.
 * Thanks,
 * Beth
