How to add Inline Comment Form under each blog post in Blogger

One of the reasons why so many people are switching to wordpress from Blogger is for the Comment form.The Blogger comment form sucks as people have to click on 'add a comment' then redirect to blogger and posting the comment... and most of the people are too lazy to do it (atleast myself).But, here is the good news...Blogger released this most awaited feature a couple of days ago... and let's learn how to add this to your Blogger blog (this works both for new blogger and classic blogger)here is the screenshot of how it looks:

Learn how to add this to your blog.. 1.First Sign in to Blogger Draft and select your blog and click on the Settings 2.Next, Click on the "Comments tab" and select the "Embedded below post" option and Finally Save the changes..that's it! I know most of you want to add this new feature to your blog as soon as you can...

How to Swap your Blogger (Blogspot ) blog Title ?

This is called "Blogger/blogspot Title Swapping". Here are some examples before and after Title swapping.

Before:

After:

After Title Swapping
So, Which is good one?

The second one always. It will give your blog better search engine rankings. It is always good to have your main keywords(Post title) of a specific blog post at the start rather than placing your blog title at the start. This situation becomes very bad if your blog title is very long.

So, how to do this?

As usual, Sign in to Blogger » Layout » Edit html
and find this line which is at the top

<title><data:blog.title/></title>

Now, replace that line which these

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> <data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title> </b:if>

and Save the Changes.
