Comment Text Hack

This is the section of code that has to be replaced to make the words "No Comments" or the number of comments on a post show as different text.

The original content pulls from a specific data location and that is what creates the words No Comments or the number....so making this change tells the page to pull the comment text from the text written in therefore by making this change, you are giving up the ability to see the number of comments on a post as well...just fair warning in case you decide to do this.

This change is really only designed for the Designer Templates....there are other CSS things you can do for the Dynamics that you can find on other blogs out there.

I mostly wanted this for my own reference for the big updates I need to make. Another note about this, that the post template and full template are updated pretty regularly when the Blogger platform is updated so these hacks can disappear and have to be reapplied.

The content that needs to be replaced is < data:post.commentlabelfull/ >: with the text you wanted. This is the section that you are looking for to make that change.

<br /> < b:if cond='data:post.commentSource == 1' ><br /> < span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' expr:data-count='data:post.numComments' expr:data-onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick' expr:data-post-url='data:post.url' expr:data-url='data:post.canonicalUrl' ><br /> < /span ><br /> < b:else/ ><br /> < a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick' ><br /> < data:post.commentLabelFull/ >:<br /> < /a ><br /> < /b:if >

FAQ: New Dashboard on Blogger

Blogger has rolled out a new dashboard. You can read about it at this link on the Blogger Blog.

https://blogger.googleblog.com/2016/11/a-first-few-tweaks-toward-better-blogger_22.html

The new dashboard takes you directly to the blog that has the most recent updates to it, however you can go to any of your other blogs by clicking on the down arrow on the top left area where the current blog name is listed. See image.

As all changes do, this new dashboard might take some getting used to. You can give feedback directly to the Blogger team via the feedback link on the dashboard (lower right on page). We recommend using this link for feedback as it goes directly to the Blogger team.

If you are having issues with viewing the new dashboard or are getting error messages, please report them in the forum as you would any other issue. 

NOTE: older browsers might have some compatibility issues with the new dashboard so trying to update your browser might be the quickest way to fix most issues.
