How to change the 'comments' line of each post

This will teach you help you add a little pizzazz to the comments line on your posts by changing the words to say whatever you’d like, here’s an example:

NOTE: Before you begin to do anything, remember to backup your template. Go to Template -> Edit HTML. Click the “Download Full Template” link to save a copy of your template

Now that you’re in the HTML code, tick the ‘expand widget template’ box.

Scroll to where you see this.



<span class='post-comment-link'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
        
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>

            <a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'>1 <data:top.commentLabel/><b:else/><data:post.numComments/> <data:top.commentLabelPlural/></b:if></a>
       
</b:if>

       
</b:if>
     
</span>


Now change all of that to say this:



<span class='post-comment-link'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'>
<b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'>Post a comment (1) <b:else/> Post a comment (<data:post.numComments/>)</b:if></a>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</span>



Next, wherever you see the words “Post a comment” in the above code, change it to say whatever you want it to say, like you could put, shout outs or thoughts from friends or whatever you’d like.

Then you’re done! Be sure to preview it before you save it.
