Two weeks ago we made some major improvements to the Disqus admin navigation. It’s cleaner, more consistent across different pages and user roles, and has a more intuitive organization of pages, tools, and settings. You’ll find more about this update here. This first wave of changes wasn’t necessarily focused on mobile, but it’s important to us that the Disqus admin works great on phones and tablets. We know there’s a lot of you out there who love to get things done on your mobile devices. That’s why we’re excited to tell you about a few more updates we’ve released over the past few weeks that aim to improve the Disqus admin experience on mobile.

Hello site founders, admins, and moderators!

Getting help from an Internet stranger is a pretty surreal experience. You open a browser tab with beads of sweat trickling down your brow, and find your way to a support forum in hopes that your burning question will be answered by some noble human who has more knowledge than you.

As a community leader for your site, you’re probably interested in building an audience. If you often find yourself sitting on the sidelines, twiddling your thumbs waiting for this to occur, we’ve got some tips for you: get commenting! Jump into the comment section and reply directly to your community members. After all, you’re an important member of, well, your community and your contributions matter. We recently chatted with Nikki Parkinson over at Styling You, who runs a very loyal and active Fashion and Style community. We wanted to pick her brain on the topic of author participation.
