How to Add / Embed Comment Box below blogger post?
For a while now, a lot of people have hated the comment feature on blogger/blogspot. Mainly because of the sign in issues but that was resolved a while back.Finally blogger/blogspot have released an inline comment feature, which means the comment box is directly under your post and not in a pop up box or another page.
Some readers may find dropping comment is something that will causes inconvenient for them. So if you have a comment box under every post, then your readers can simply drop down a comment after reading your post. Sounds simple and easy.
Here is the trick to create comment box under your post.
1. Login to http://draft.blogger.com
2. Go to Setting–>Comments. then change “Comment Form Placement” to be “Embedded below post” (look at the image below)
3. Then “Save Setting”
Try to see your blog and klik on your titile post. if there is a embadded commnet box below your post just stop this step here. But if there is no comments box, just follow the next steps here.
If you have customized your template, you will need to make a small change to your template code for this comment form to display. But don’t worry, it’s a very simple customization to make!
4. Go to “Layout–>Edit HTML”
5. Check the “Expand widget templates” box.
6. Find this code :
<p class=’comment-footer’>
<a expr:href=’data:post.addCommentUrl’ expr:onclick=’data:post.addCommentOnclick’>
<data:postCommentMsg/></a>
</p>
</b:if>
7. Then replace it with this code :
<p class=’comment-footer’>
<b:if cond=’data:post.embedCommentForm’>
<b:include data=’post’ name=’comment-form’/>
<b:else/> <b:if cond=’data:post.allowComments’>
<a expr:href=’data:post.addCommentUrl’ expr:onclick=’data:post.addCommentOnclick’>
<data:postCommentMsg/></a>
</b:if> </b:if> </p> </b:if>
8. Save your Template.
Enjoy..

Great friend, i was thinking of such a thing as today only i failed to follow the comment link of one of my favourite blogs and later left the blog without commenting. The present comment form is irritating. Now i am changing the feature. Thanks

Thanks for the tip, but it’s only working on my stand-alone blog pages (not the home page with the last 10 posts). I tried copying/pasting, but it said there was an error with the language.
Any ideas? Thanks.
