Arrow How to embed comment form in blog post in blogger

Blogger has finally made it possible to embed the comment form in the blog post. This feature is available only in blogger in draft though. To use it in your blog, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to http://draft.blogger.com/
2. Click on Settings and then click on Comments.
3. Under "Comment form placement" setting check the radio setting for "Embedded below post"
4. Now go to Layout>Edit HTML and backup your template incase something goes wrong.
5. Check the "Expand widget templates" box. Then search for this section of code:

Quote:
<b:include data='post' name='comments' />
Immediately after this line, add the following line of code:

Quote:
<b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/>
Voila!! The comment box now appears just after the blog post, like in wordpress!



Enjoy!

Drawbacks:
Some options are missing right now but google is working on it.
- does not support subscribing to follow-up comments via email, nor does it have a preview button.
- The font color of the comment form is currently hard-coded to black. If your template has a dark background, this may make the “Comment As:” label hard to read.
