Number Your Blogger Comments

If your blog has a large following and you receive a high volume of comments, you know how frustrating it can be when you only have time to "glance" at your comments, and try to remember the location of the important ones for later! Well my friends, here is the solution to your problem: Comment numbering.

*Numbers are only visible when comments
are embedded below your posts*

Step 1:


Log in to Blogger.
Click "Layout"



Step 2:


Once in Layout,
Click "Edit HTML"


Step 3:


Once under
Edit HTML,
expand widget templates


*Important: When using the "Find" function to change
your HTML, make sure the Match Case feature is off.*

Step 4:
Hit CTRL + F in your web browser, and find the following code:

<dl id='comments-block'>

If you are unable to find that code, search for the following:

<dl expr:class='data:post.avatarIndentClass' id='comments-block'>

Delete expr:class='data:post.avatarIndentClass' so
that the line matches the original code we searched for.

Right under that line of code, paste the following:

<script type='text/javascript'>var CommentsCounter=0;</script>

Step 5:
Hit CTRL + F again and find the following code:

<data:commentpostedbymsg/>

Right under that code, paste the following:

<br /><span class='numberingcomments' style='float:right;font-size:20px;'><a expr:href='data:comment.url' title='Comment Link'><script type='text/javascript'>CommentsCounter=CommentsCounter+1;document.write(CommentsCounter)</script></a></span> <br />

Preview your changes before saving your work. Tada! Numbered comments.
