I enabled Disqus comments on my blog and it was...disgusting. I tried to tweak the CSS to remove as many of those dumb Disqus widgets as I could, but it still looked bad in the end.

I did a search for alternatives and http://intensedebate.com/ looks interesting. The default layout is much more compact and seems even more customizable.

Looks pretty simple. They provide two pieces of Javascript. One for "Comments #" link, and the other is for the actual comment block.
