The Save button lets people save articles in your Facebook account.
For it to work please add the following code in Settings -> Code Injection -> Blog Footer.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.async=true;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.8";

Only enable either Disqus or Facebook comments.
Insert your Disqus shortname in both the comments and Disqus comment count sections.
- To enable Disqus comments update the code in
