I decided to revert to a classic template as I really do not like the "upgraded" templates on Blogger. This means Google Plus comments are not currently possible, however. Since I am not a huge fan of BlogSpot's comment system, I will look into what I can do to install Disqus on the classic template.

6:35 p.m. Update: Disqus has been installed, but comments are not synced. Existing Blogger comments are still there and I will be updating the template with a link to those comments.
