Replying to unnumbered blog comments can really be confusing especially when you can’t refer to comment authors by name. More people choose to reply anonymously and but this gets easier when you can refer to them in your replies by their comment number. This blog hack works perfefectly for me as you can see the numbered comments on this blog, right? Apart from making it easier to reply, adding numbers to your blog comments gives your blog some sort of profesional look you’re definitely going to like. It’s quite neat, simple and easy to implement only if you follow these steps:
1. Log in to your blogger account and go to Design page and click Edit HTML. You should back up your template before you proceed
2. Mark the box named Expand Widget Template
3. Press CTRL + F on your browser to find this code:
<b:loop values='data:post.comments' var='comment'>4. You found it? Good! Just above it, paste thispiece of code:
<script type='text/javascript'>var CommentsCounter=0;</script>5. We’re almost done now, search once again fro this code:
<b:if cond='data:comment.authorUrl'>6. Immediately after it, paste this:
<script type='text/javascript'>
CommentsCounter=CommentsCounter+1;
document.write(CommentsCounter+".")
</script>Now save your template and preview your blog to see the numbered comments on your blog. It’s only a little piece of javascript that doesn’t even affect your page load time.
This is the exact one I’m using right here and it looks cool, huh? I also suggest you read Numbered Page Navigation if you find this helpful.
nice trick
you can using too with <ol> variable
nice to meet you \m/
btw…your reply button not good work
Yes, thanks for letting me know. Just fixed it though it's quite unlike the ones we see on wordpress blogs.@Beben Koben
It’s just not working for me. I’ve tried a few times. I have to pick two winners from 326 comments…HELP!!!
You’re probably getting it wrong somewhere. It’s the exact tweak I’m using on my old blogspot site – http://doncaprio.blogspot.com/2011/11/number-comments-blogger-how-to-blogspot.html
I do not have code
in my blogger…can someone tell me what to do?
Thanks, worked like a charm once I made the comments full page instead of embedded. Thank you:)
