Disqus comment box setup

I am new to web building, and I am trying to set up disqus as a third party commenting system because they seem quite simple and the formatting is nice, I trying to set it up on dreamweaver CS6, but am lost as to how to set it up. These are the set up instructions on that come once I set up an account with them:

  1. Place the following where you want disqus to load.

    /* * * CONFIGURATION VARIABLES: EDIT BEFORE PASTING INTO YOUR WEBPAGE * * */ var disqus_shortname = 'yoursite'; // required: replace example with your forum shortname 
    /* * * DON'T EDIT BELOW THIS LINE * * */
(function() {
    var dsq = document.createElement('script'); dsq.type = 'text/javascript'; dsq.async = true;
    dsq.src = '//' + disqus_shortname + '.disqus.com/embed.js';
    (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(dsq);
})();
    Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.

    comments powered by Disqus

Now the rest of how to install it completely are here at this link: http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/565624-tightening-your-disqus-integration

The main thing I don't get is this "#disqus_thread" thing.

I am a first time web builder and have no idea what this all means, if someone could help me out that would be very much appreciated!

Thank you.
