How to enable comments on a static site? [closed]

I want to enable comments (like in any regular blog) but the site is static. How should I do it?

Is there a service to "host" comments (like imgur for comments for example)?

Disqus is a great option, and depending on the type of site Facebook Comments can make a lot of sense as well. Both will work on a totally static site.

Disqus is almost exactly what you're looking for. They give you a little snippet and it embeds a commenting system in your page. Used by about half of Tumblr and big sites like Engadget.
