Replace No Comments Alongside A To A Greater Extent Than Friendly Caption

Ever since Blogger improved the comment count caption / link, they bring gotten criticism.

They simply replaced the vague 0 comment count, that was originally purpose of the link to the comment form, alongside a to a greater extent than indicative caption "No Comments" (or whatever linguistic communication equivalent may apply, on your blog). But they cannot delight everybody.

People mean value I don't desire comments, what tin I do?

I mean value the one-time saying

Don't endeavor to delight everybody!

applies here, inwards spades.

So people ask, periodically, inwards Blogger Help Forum: Learn More About Blogger, most template customisation.

How produce I supervene upon "No Comments" alongside something to a greater extent than reader friendly?

And the start enquiry needs to be

Are you lot comfortable alongside editing the template?

This tin last a rather forbidding question, to some spider web log owners.

If you lot don't similar "No Comments" (or whatever local linguistic communication variant your spider web log uses), you lot tin supervene upon the "No comments" caption alongside whatever phrase that pleases you.

This may last improve if your reader population is concentrated around i linguistic communication - in addition to if you lot are able to edit the template. Blogger wants the residents of dissimilar countries to read "Comments", in addition to "No Comments", inwards their local languages.

The comments link caption is accessed, inwards your template, equally "post.commentLabelFull", inwards pre "Responsive" bird themes.

You volition desire to discovery

<data:post.commentLabelFull/>:

in addition to supervene upon it with

Dude, hitting me alongside a comment!

Or whatever friendly greeting you lot bring inwards mind.

Here's the theme code, from my spider web log that uses "Picture Window":

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

And at that topographic point is your target. Just a unproblematic alter is all you lot need, for most templates.

<b:if cond='data:post.commentSource == 1'>     <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'>     </span>   <b:else/>     <a class='comment-link' expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'>       Dude, hitting me alongside a comment!     </a>   </b:if> 

Search diligently! Some templates may bring to a greater extent than than i illustration of

<data:post.commentLabelFull/>:

With "Responsive" bird themes, you lot volition similarly discovery "data:messages.postAComment".

Here's the theme code, from this blog:

<b:if cond='data:post.numberOfComments > 0'>               <b:message name='messages.numberOfComments'>                 <b:param expr:value='data:post.numberOfComments' name='numComments'/>               </b:message>             <b:else/>               <data:messages.postAComment/>             </b:if>

As always, I propose that you lot backup the template - earlier in addition to later you lot brand this change.

Just delight continue inwards withdraw heed that you lot volition last editing the post template - in addition to the post template is subject to update, past times Blogger. If your alter causes a problem, you lot may terminate upwards having to reset the post template, in addition to start over.
