Are you one of those users who would wish to have comments integrated right into your site but you are publishing to a folder and so you can’t do that? Or you just want to use the awesome technology of Halscan to power your comments? This tutorial will show you in an extremely easy way how to do this!

For this tutorial, we will be using a free application called iTweak. It has been made to simplify such additions to the iWeb application and so it is just perfect to use.

So let’s get right started!

1. First step is easy! Download iTweak and sign up for a Haloscan account.
   Use the account to modify the styling of your comments stuff and make it appeal to you.
2. Now, choose any existing pages and add a text-box to it which will later hold a link to allow visitors to add comments or trackbacks. Make sure you leave the text-box with it’s default style (ie.: do not change any fonts, colors, fills or whatever with the text-box).
3. In the text-box write the following keyword. It will later be replaced with the actual comments link:

   %%HALOSCAN_COMMENTS%%

4. Now publish your site and once it has finished, open iTweak and navigate to the “Discussion” tab. Right at the top you have the ability to type in your Haloscan username. Type it in and choose if you only wish to have comments, trackbacks or both.
5. Choose your published site by hitting the “Choose published Site.” If you publish your site to a folder, you should know where you can find it. If you publish to .Mac, you find your site at the following path. iWeb ‘08 users use this path:

   iDisk/Web/Sites/SITENAME

   On the other hand, iWeb ‘06 users follow this path:

   iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/SITENAME

   Don’t forget to tick the check-mark for adding the Haloscan comments! If not ticked, it won’t do it.

6. Lastly, you can hit the “Process” button and then your done! Make sure you are connected to the internet for the comments to show up.
