Blogger have developed an inline (embedded) comment form which can be enabled through Blogger in Draft. This is probably the most requested feature for Blogger, and I'm sure many of you will want to use this straight away!
To enable inline comments for your Blogger powered blog, you need to log into your dashboard through Blogger in Draft. Then go to Settings>Comments and scroll down the page to see the new "Comment form placement" setting:
Check the radio setting for "Embedded below post" which will enable the display of the comment form below your blog posts.
If you have customized your template, you will need to make a small change to your template code for this comment form to display. But don't worry, it's a very simple customization to make!
Simply go to Layout>Edit HTML in your blog's dashboard and check the "Expand widget templates" box.
Then search for this section of code:
<p class='comment-footer'>
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a>
</b:if>
</p>
Replace this entire section of code with the following instead:
<p class='comment-footer'>
<b:if cond='data:post.embedCommentForm'>
<b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</p>
Then save your template.
Now when you view a post page in your blog, you should see the new comment form in place!
Update: As many of you have pointed out in the comments, not all templates feature the code I've described above.
Luckily, Is has offered a method which is much easier to use, and has worked for every template I've tried so far. So if my original method isn't working for you, try this instead:
Search for this line in your template code:
<b:include data='post' name='comments' />
Immediately after this line, add the following line of code:
<b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/>
Then save your template. This method adds the required code for the comment form without having to alter the whole comment area, and is very useful if you have experienced problems using the original method Thanks for the hint, Is!
If you don't see your comment form, make sure you have changed this setting through Blogger in Draft and have added your code in the correct place in your template.
You can see this comment form in action beneath this post. Using this comment form allows readers to comment using their Google account, OpenID, Name/URL and all of the settings previously available when using a pop-up or full page comment form (depending on the settings you have chosen).
I am very happy to see that Blogger have listened to our requests and have added this great functionality to our blogs. There are also some other new features added to Blogger in Draft including an improved posting page and import/export features which you can read about in the Blogger in Draft blog.
Please let me know what you think of this new feature by leaving your comments below.

Thank You Amanda for this tutorial...
Hi Amanda, I am new, and am using the minima template that I just customized a bit, add third column. I follow this and nothing happens under my post, still just the comment link that hops to the post page comment form. I have tried this on like 4 different templates now, is it no longer working?
Thank you.
Awesome post....Thats a kind of tutorial very impressive! its working great for me.????
Thanks for this trick amanda..
I'm came for Free Ringtones Gratis
Thanks and Good Luck, Success
Hey , Its nice to see everything here . Very useful blog. Keep it up.
Thanks Amanda for helping us all out,
Some of these"simple to use/edit" open source and blogger platforms can be a little confusing with their coding from time to time,
Anyways,
2008 was a wonderful year for web design and
technology in general. I hope to see some excellent
designs this coming new year.
Check out Adamssite for
some eye popping web templates, web page
templates, and html templates.
Happy New Year,
Adam
Why is it that you don't respond to people's comments and questions?

like http://www.rateyourtrip.com i enjoyed
it very much so ... helped me alot with
everything i was looking for
thanks 17/02/2009
thanks amanda, this really help me coz i really one this comment form....
a million thanks for sharing with us.

copy of this lesson on my site here
www.wmasr.com
thank u very much,i was not able to add comment box for long time b4 read this article,can u tell me how to enclose each comment in a box like u have done
thanks u helped me!
thank you for this code.
i tweak my codes to have the form.
its too tough to do.
coz my original codes are put in different places.
so i put the replacement codes one at a time.
cheers.
help!! it doesn't seem to work for me..
please check my site out and tell me what's wrong.. thanks!!
Thanks! This worked perfectly.
I have, however, a question. Is there a way to narrow this window?
It's just that with my template, is goes slightly out of the margins I've set up for my central column.
This feature doesn't work anymore.
Thanks for your information.
Hey everyone!
I have tried the above explained methods but what happens to me is, while the page is loading i can see the comment box for like one second and than it disappears! Im not sure whats wrong. Anybody please help!? I am using a custom template btw.
Thanks Amanda, for your helpful post.
It didn't work in my special template and I'm not sure why. Can you visit and help please?
http://thaxtonfam.blogspot.com
I have made something similar to this.. I made a Contact Form, Submit Article and Pictures by using a Content form and its in Blogger.com.
http://www.botsnhacks.blogspot.com
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this. Everything is getting more and more reader involved/interactive these days. Blogs are important simply because people can add comments. If only the main static websites would start adding comment forms after the main articles.
Hi Amanda,
I'm doing my head in trying to display the embedded comments box on my blog. I tried the most simple insertion you recommended above: "b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/", because I couldn't find the more elaborate code. My blog is: http://projectoneworld.blogspot.com
I'd really appreciate your help!
I have enabled all comments and backlinks btw.
Thanks very much
It's a great feature, if you can get it to work with your template.
Amanda ... SO COOL!!
I followed the link that POCKET provided ... to you.
Blogger in Draft??? Didn't know it existed! May have been a problem in trying to change codes!
1st time got the "Parsing" message ... realized I included the /b AFTER the /p - corrected that and IT WORKS!!!
Now I have to figure out the "read more" feature :P
which cuts off my post and goes nowhere ... possibly because I wasn't in the "BLOGGER IN DRAFT" mode?
THANK YOU!!
hi
THANKSSSS!!!!! great code
Am i going to see comment box instantly....or will take time???
Amanda,
Thanks so much for this in-depth article. Now I'm able to have the comments right under each post, instead of only when the post was viewed on its individual page. I'd had "embedded below post" checked off from the start, but because of my custom layout, it wasn't working on the main page. Thanks again!
how can i get recent post archives widget as in your blog that is all in one
Testing a link: http://www.google.com
Testing a link that probably won't be clickable: http://www.google.com
Thanks for your useful post...
Thanks! Your first code would not work at all even though I did it correctly. I stared at it and stared at it. I just couldn't understand why it wouldn't work. But your second method worked like a charm.
i m not ftn
waw what a great way you are my sense! thanks for that
Amanda! You have done a great job.
Its really work and i just adding it today!
Thank a lot
Cheers

Hi Amanda,
My blog at
http://sydneyfever.blogspot.com/ used to have comments embedded below the posts. You can see this was working back in June 2008 under the "honeymoon musings" post. However, for some reason, it stopped working and now they are no longer embedded.
I tried both of the methods you described on this post, but didn't have either of the html codes you mention in my template.
Can you offer any other suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Erica

Thanks

http://www.xrangeglobal.com
none of the above is working for my blog.
full page comment section was running very well on my blog until yesterday when I have tried to install IntenseDebate comment widget. I didn't like it actually coz it has deleted my older comments and there is no import comments option either. So I have uninstalled IntenseDebate and this PROBLEM COMMENT PROBLEM STARTED.
I suspect IntenseDebate has change my template code at many places.
Now I don't have any comment section.
Please help Amanda. I have posted my query to eblogtemplates but there is no reply.
Even if you want I can provide you the xml code.
I have tried all the ways found in google search. But comment section is not enabling. The closest I could reach is getting "Post a Comment" below my posts with a blank white space in place of this comment section here.
Please don't be a inactive admin like David @eblogtemplates and reply me soon Amanda
Hi!
I tried this and it works fine except for one big thing. The comments don't work well in Internet Explorer, if fact somtimes they don't work at all.
People cant leave a comment all they get is a error massage. (I have only tried with the latest IE) Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera works fine but not IE. Since 50% of my users still uses it, this is a big problem. Anybody else with this issue? My website is in swedish www.kolportoren.com
Any help appreciated!
Thanks for a great site!
it sounds good and promising
:( i want this & can't get it to work...help?! ♥

I know this is like a year old - or will be tomorrow - but I have this set up on a custom template and I can see the comment form, but visitors to my blog say they can't (I am talking to them via LiveJournal when they tell me this) see the text entry form. They say they just see a big, empty space. This really doesn't make sense to me. I would just go ahead and change templates, but I'm afraid it won't work either.
Dear Amanda,
Firstly : You are such a beacon of light to the Bloogger community & the Platform itself [ You are the Mother Teresa of Blogger that is certain! :) ] . Secondly : I want to thank you for this article . I have been struggling for the past 4 days within my plight into finding a solution as to how to make the comment form appear under the posts . I have recently begun my blog & had downloaded a beautiful Template from Dezinerfolio ( which I did not want to part with ) however : there was no comment form on the entire template ! I had added a script just to be able to have the pop up version , but I feel that the form beneath the posts is much more preferable . I have gone through about 100 various scripts - this was the only one which worked ( just as all of your scripts do ! :) Thanks again for making this newbie bloggers life a bit easier . Wishing you much continued success within all of your life & career endeavors . I shall be returning here on a frequent basis ( as I have much to learn , thank you for being my ' online mentor ' :)
Mia

Hi,
My blog is http://rahul-bhattacharya.blogspot.com/
Recently I found when I got about 210 comments in one of my posts, that only the first 200 comments are visible. Rest of the comments are existing, because they show up when I delete a few comments, but the comments beyond 200 stay hidden. Here is the post http://rahul-bhattacharya.blogspot.com/ Can you please help me to make all my comments visible? Thanks in advance :)
I have a custom template and the second code you mentioned works. Thanks so much. I have a few problems though:
1) There is no "leave comments" on the home page, only on individual pages. You need to click on where it says "(0) comments" which is not helpful for many.
2) On individual pages the original comments link is still there.
3) I have checked all my settings but I am neither notified of a comment (either in email or on the desktop) and therefore cannot moderate any comments.
I was wondering if one could remove the big blank space underneath the Post Comment and Preview buttons - every blog I've visited that has the embedded comment form from Blogger Draft (including yours) has a big blank space after it. Is there any way to fix it? Is there any other embedded comment form Blogger hacks that can replace Blogger Draft's version?
Nice post, I'll definitely going to try it. Thanks.
I'll do what you did in this text.
I wish it would be useful.
Hello sir in my blog commenting is not working.
plz tell me how to correct this
By using the services of an seo consultant
they can make sure that the search engine optimisation implemented, will have the necessary effect, they will compliment this by adding your website to a web directory .
They know the fundemental errors that a website designer may make when designing your website.
To compliment the seo they may recommend a pay per click campaign, to help you generate inquiries, while the optimisation teakes effect.
They will also update you on seo news, unlike an normal seo company ,also they will suggest to create blogs about your products like leather sofas or if its a service like
ironing services to assist with your seo.
nice information i always look up your site
Finally i did it.Many many thanks to you.
Hello, it’s very good site!!! I like it.

Ooops...finally..it worked....sorry for the previous comment...I thought I'm suppose to replace the line of code with the new one..but actually i'm suppose to put it below...ahahaha....I feel so stupid right now...
