The latest tips and news from the Blogger team
Commenting made easier
October 22, 2008
Today we’re bringing the
embedded comment form
out of
Blogger in draft
and making it easily available to everyone. This feature puts the comment form at the bottom of each post page, below the comments, instead of on the separate, Blogger-styled page.
The embedded comment form is more convenient for your readers because they can use it to
post a comment immediately
, without clicking over to a different page. It also looks better, since it
matches your blog’s style and colors
.
If you’re logged in to Blogger with your Google Account, you can also subscribe to comments via email by clicking the “Subscribe” link. Unlike with the full page comment form, you don’t need to post a comment to subscribe.
To enable the embedded comment form for your blog, go to the
Settings > Comments
page and look for the
Comment Form Placement
setting. Change it to
Embedded below post
, save your settings, and go check out a post to see the new form in action.
The embedded comment form works on both Classic and Layouts templates, though if you’re using a heavily-customized Layouts template you may need to reset your widget templates before the embedded comment form will appear.
We think that the embedded comment form is a big improvement, so we’ve made it the default setting for all new blogs.
Happy commenting!
Update, 10/23:
We regret that this feature is being enabled for some existing blogs that didn’t specifically enable it. We are working to undo that, but in the meantime if you see this on your blog and don’t want it, go to
Settings > Commenting
and change Comment Form Placement to either “Full page” or “Pop-up window.”
