Blogger blogging platform is getting better and better. With more refined features, Blogger is appealing to wider audience. Much demanded, expected feature of embedded comment form has been live for a while.
While it only involves few clicks to get going with this feature in default blogger template, things are little different – if you are using 3rd party customized Blogger template. Here is the procedure to embed comment form in your Blogger blog for making life easy for your visitors while they comment.
1.Login into your Blogger account using http://draft.blogger.com and NOT using http://www.blogger.com
2. Click on ‘settings’ > ‘comments’ and check for options next to ‘Comment Form Placement’. Select the option ‘Embedded below post’.
3.Then click on ‘save settings’ button and check your blog for the embedded comment form.
Still don’t see embedded comment form? This happens when you are using a modified blogger template. To make embedded form appear in modified template we need to check options suggested by Amanda.
METHOD ONE
Go to settings > Layout > Edit HTML and look for the following code.
<p class=’comment-footer’> <b:if cond=’data:post.allowComments’> <a expr:href=’data:post.addCommentUrl’ expr:onclick=’data:post.addCommentOnclick’><data:postCommentMsg/></a> </b:if> </p>
Replace the above code with the following:
<p class=’comment-footer’> <b:if cond=’data:post.embedCommentForm’> <b:include data=’post’ name=’comment-form’/> <b:else/> <b:if cond=’data:post.allowComments’> <a expr:href=’data:post.addCommentUrl’ expr:onclick=’data:post.addCommentOnclick’><data:postCommentMsg/></a> </b:if> </b:if> </p>
METHOD TWO
If above method does not work, check out the second method. Look for this code:
<b:include data=’post’ name=’comments’ />
Found? Add the following line after the above line and see the comment form in action!
<b:include data=’post’ name=’comment-form’/>
Either of above 3 methods should do the trick of adding embedded comment form in your Blogger blog. However, if it does not work – try out default Blogger template and perform above steps!

I can imagine that there are very useful tips to restore the comments utility. However, my blog still have the COMMET section, but it does not work. Please, take a look at http://EU-NOSSO-SER.BLOGSPOT.COM
I mean, it worked before I change the template.
Hope you help me please.
anyways I have sought it out. The problem was due to deselecting the box that says comments in post page options
@Davinder
If that had solved the problem then I wouldn’t have posted my comment here. The real problem is even after uploading the template which I have saved before installing intensedebate, the comments section is not showing up
None of the above worked on my blog to restore the comments section.
The problem started when I have uninstalled IntenseDebate comment widget.
Now I blog have no comments section. So please help me soon to restore it.
@ramaraobobby
Intense Debate modify Blogger template and remove default Blogger comment code. After the remove you need to add the code, finding which isnt easy. So, it is recommended to upload copy of Blogger template before it was modified to add intense debate.
Hi,
My comment form embeds fine but it does not function- as in the comments do not post.
