WordPress

How would I integrate plugins like Disqus or Facebook when creating a wordpress website for another?

I'm following along with the video, but I'm making this site for someone else, so how would go about handling that? Do I just have to get their email and password and set it up that way?

You will need a disqus account. You could tell the client to sign up and do so. Usually when your developing a website you have access to Cpanel to create an email. You could create an email on behalf of the client and let them know after. That way you don't bug the client and can get it done. Facebook is a little more difficult since some people are hesitant to give out username/password for good reason. You can sit with them and create the developer API. They can then assign you on the dev team through Facebook to work so you can access the API and do whatever you may need to.
