For Github Pages should the Namespace web domain be the username.github.io or www.example.com?

I am using Github Pages. I'm wondering which domain name to use when
registering on Remarkbox, should it be ``username.github.io`` or
``www.example.com``?

Additionally, Where should I add the snippet? To a post or on the
homepage (i.e. ``index.md``).

Hey @sreeman -

You will definitely want to use the custom domain when registering with
Remarkbox, but in fact you may register both, each will have it's own
owner id so they will be treated as separate websites (for example, you
could do your comment testing on the ``github.io`` domain before
transitioning to the production domain)

I've never used Github pages before but it seems like it may host static
web sites so any page you put the snippet will have the comment page
appear. Depending on how you are building your web site's static pages
will depend on if you may automatically add comments to a blog post
article for example.

If you have a repository which I may look at I might be able to offer
specific guidance on your HTML or static site generator.

Reach out here if you need more specific help:

Good Luck!
