Default Re: Widget/Gadget resource for blogspot

Quote:
do you know of any widget that will improve the current way a reader leaves a comment on blogger? I use the template minima. There isn't anything that says "leave a comment." The reader has to click the "0 comments" in order to know that they can leave a comment.
There are none I have found that change the way to leave a comment. There are some widgets available that start a script once you click on the "0 comments"-field, and other widgets that show you the previous comments.

On most blogplatforms, other than Blogger, one have to click on the "0 comments"-like field below the blogpost, but I agree it is rather weird, and does not seem user friendly.

It would be easier to change the HTML of the template rather than to include a widget, I think.

e.g.:

Quote:
Code:
<a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'>Leave a comment (<data:top.commentLabel/>)</a>
That should show you "Leave a comment (0)".

Please please backup your template before you make any changes.

Hope this helps.

Peter.
