Working on getting comments (via Mastodon posts) setup on my static blog. Basing it off of @laubblaeser awesome post: fbanning.de/thoughts/mastodon-

The idea is pretty straight forward:
1. Post a new blog article.
2. Post on Mastodon sharing your article's link and grab that Post ID.
3. Add a "comments" shortcode snippet to your article with that new Post ID.
4. Now any replies to the Mastodon Post can be loaded/viewed in the Blog article's new "Comments" section.

Screenshot showing partial section of a blog article page. There is a section with a title "Comments". It's followed by text, "Respond to this post with an account on the Fediverse (like Mastodon)." The "Respond to this post" is a link back to a post on Mastodon. Below that there's a blue button with a speech bubble and the words "Load all comments".
Screenshot of a portion of a blog article. It shows a "Comments" section having loaded several comments on the page. Each comment is outlined by a thin gray outline with rounded corners. The comments have a header section (with the user's profile image, their user name, the number of likes the comment got, and lastly a datetime stamp set off to the right hand side. The second half of the comment holds the text contents of the comment/post reply.
