Utterance Commenting System

Hi everyone! I have now added a commenting system to the blog using utterances which keeps the comments as Github issues at the comment repository found here.

You will need a Github account to be able to post comments, however, such an account is free. You can sign up for an account here: https://github.com or by clicking the “Sign in to Comment” button in the commenting system.

I chose utterances because:

1. It easily integrated with my blogging software Hugo;
2. I like and I’m familiar with the formatting and capabilities of Github issues;
3. Easy export of Github issues in the future; and
4. No advertising even if free.

I felt this was a better solution than something like Disqus that would be spamming advertisements.
