How To Use Blogger and Google+ Commenting Systems Together?

Views:

Blogger Developers introduced Google+ Commenting system for Blogger blogs. When we think to install Google+ Commenting System to our blog then both advantages and disadvantages of Google+ Comment System comes in our mind.

 So we got confused to what system we switched to and get lot of comments? But now there is no need to get confused because we can use both Blogger and Google+ Commenting System together with a little hack. By this way we can enable our visitors to comment on our blog with their favourite commenting system. So lets start the tutorial to use this hack in your blog.

Note: We need atleast 1 comment to show both commenting systems together. Your default comment system will be shown to your first commentor.

How to Use Both Systems:

• Go To Blogger >> Template >> Backup Your Template
• Click Edit HTML and Search For Below Code

<b:includable id='comment_picker' var='post'>

.

.

.

.

</b:includable>

• Replace The Above Code With The Following.

<b:includable id='comment_picker' var='post'>

  <b:if cond='data:post.forceIframeComments'>

    <b:include data='post' name='iframe_comments'/>

    <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>

      <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>

    <b:else/>

      <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>

    </b:if>

  <b:else/>

    <b:if cond='data:post.commentSource == 1'>

      <b:include data='post' name='iframe_comments'/>

    <b:else/>

      <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>

        <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>

      <b:else/>

        <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>

      </b:if>

    </b:if>

  </b:if>

</b:includable>

• After replacing the code, once again search another below code. 

<b:includable id='threaded_comments' var='post'>

.

.

.

.

</b:includable>

• Again Replace This Code With The Following One

  <b:includable id='threaded_comments' var='post'>

  <div id='com-header'>
