0 CUSTOMIZE BLOGGER COMMENT MESSAGE.

This is another way of encouraging your blog visitors to leave a comment before leaving.In one of my Previous posts,we talked about adding comment policy to blogs.

In Blogger default templates, if there are no comments in a post, the default template says "0 comments."
After the first comment,it says "1 comment," and so on.
Although this is accurate,it is not very attractive.

With this simple hack,you can include your message to it.

STEPS ON HOW TO CUSTOMIZE THE MESSAGE

Go to Design >> Edit HTML.Backup your template in case something goes wrong.

Check the box next to
Expand Widget Template and search for
<a name='comments'/>
by pressing ctrl+f.

Below that code,you will find the following piece of codes~

<h4>
<b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'>
1 <data:commentLabel/>:
<b:else/>
<data:post.numComments/> <data:commentLabelPlural/>:
</b:if>
</h4>

Just replace the codes in blue with the following~
<b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 0'>
Be the first to reply!
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'>
1 <data:commentLabel/> so far. What are your thoughts?
<b:else/>
<data:post.numComments/> <data:commentLabelPlural/> so far. What are your thoughts?
</b:if>
</b:if>

Having done that,just preview your blog and thereafter SAVE it.
THAT'S ALL!!!.

You can edit the texts in red to yours.
