Blogger: Comment Link Next to Blogger Post Title

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera,

Before

After

Finally, a non-dynamic post after a long time (or I should say, a *post* after a long time).. Knowing there's a way to add labels next to post titles, blog reader Amy was curious to know if there's a way to do the same with Comment links - adding the link next to the title, including the comment counter.. Since this doesn't involve a Dynamic template, you have all the reason in the world to believe there must be a way. Personally, I think this tweak could be especially handy, now that the comment link in post footer is more of a hit-and-miss thing. Without further ado, here's how..

Step 1:

Backup your template by going to Dashboard - Template - Backup/Restore - Download Full Template. Next, go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML - Find and delete the following lines:

<b:includable id='post' var='post'>
  <div class='post hentry' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'>
    <b:if cond='data:post.firstImageUrl'>
      <meta expr:content='data:post.firstImageUrl' itemprop='image_url'/>
    </b:if>
    <meta expr:content='data:blog.blogId' itemprop='blogId'/>
    <meta expr:content='data:post.id' itemprop='postId'/>

    <a expr:name='data:post.id'/>
    <b:if cond='data:post.title'>
      <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'>
      <b:if cond='data:post.link'>
        <a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
      <b:else/>
        <b:if cond='data:post.url'>
          <b:if cond='data:blog.url != data:post.url'>
            <a expr:href='data:post.url'><data:post.title/></a>
          <b:else/>
            <data:post.title/>
          </b:if>
        <b:else/>
          <data:post.title/>
        </b:if>
      </b:if>
      </h3>
    </b:if>

Step 2: 

Copy and paste the following lines in place of the deleted lines in Step 1, then click on 'Save Template'.

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

  <div class='post hentry' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'>

      <meta expr:content='data:post.firstImageUrl' itemprop='image_url'/>

    </b:if>

    <meta expr:content='data:blog.blogId' itemprop='blogId'/>

    <meta expr:content='data:post.id' itemprop='postId'/>

 

    <a expr:name='data:post.id'/>

    <b:if cond='data:post.title'>

      <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'>

      <b:if cond='data:post.link'>

        <a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a><span> | </span>

              <span class='post-comment-link spk-title-comment'>

                 <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>

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

                  </b:if>

                  </b:if>

              </span>
