Blog Tips: Activating Blogger Threaded Comments


My typical posts consist of glitter or sugar, but today I thought I would do a post about blog tips! This might not be new to some of you, but if you are like me you'll be really excited to find this fix! If you weren't already aware Blogger hasn't always had the threaded comment replies, which was quite annoying. But, the people spoke and Blogger listened! You now have the option of threaded comments where there is a reply button for each comment left on your posts. For most of us who use Blogger built templates, the threaded comment replies will be automatically activated. If you do not see the comment reply button (which was my case), here is a check list to get them up and running:

First, check to make sure your comment form is set as embed - Go to Settings > Comments > Comment Form Placement > Select "Embedded below post". Make sure to scroll to the foot of the page and save.

The next step is to set your site feed to full - Got to Settings > Site feed > Allow Blog Feeds > From the drop down menu choose "Full". Scroll to the foot of the page and save.



When you have completed these steps, save and refresh your blog and you should be good to go! If you still don't see the comment reply button, try clearing your browser's cache. Now if ALL of that fails you may not be using a Blogger template or there may be some coding in your current template preventing the threaded comment form.

I hope this has helped improve your blog, I know I was really excited when I figured it out! Happy commenting!

  2. Awesome post! One question...I have been wondering if the reply actually goes back to them? I know it would be there if they were to visit the post again, but do they get a message saying a reply was made?? (for example, will Mami Made It know that you replied to her?) Probably a silly question, but I'm still learning!

  4. Nope! I didn't get an email. Maybe MY settings are preventing the reply notice. I've replied to people on my blog and never heard back from them so I was wondering. That's strange!

  7. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
