64 Numbering Comments in Blogger
August 05, 2008 /

A great many readers have asked if it is possible to number blog comments in Blogger. Although I had tried many different methods, I had been unable to realize a successful and reliable method.

Luckily, Fernandooo1 has come to our rescue! In his explanatory post over at Randomness, he explains how to use a simple combination of JavaScript and CSS styling to produce this effect in Blogger templates.



Fernandooo1 uses this technique in the design for Randomness which appears like this:


The tutorial for numbering comments in Blogger includes the full code and technique required for customizing your Blogger template. You'll be happy to know that no external files are required: it's all achieved by some simple edits to the HTML code. If you would like to add this functionality to your own Blogger template, please take a look at Fernandoo01's well-written tutorial.

For Fernandooo1: thank you for posting your original tutorial and this subsequent translation in English :)

Bit confused about where should I paste the highlighted code?

Wohoott.. I love it!! Thanks Amanda!

Feeling like a total dork, but what parts in his tutorial are highlighted? (Which parts of the code are we supposed to add?) the text looks the same to me.

I L-O-V-E your blog, by the way. Tons of great info!

6 August 2008 01:22 রাশেদ said...

@ Elle...Look at the bold parts at the highlighted text (in firefox, hard to find the difference).


@ Amanda...thanks for informing. :)

@ Fernandooo1...U r really a nice guy. Thanks for solving the problem by looking at my template. :)

Hi there!

@Elle, Rashed:

I just changed the font colors. The highlighted parts are blue now. Actually, in Firefox it was easier to find the difference. I noticed that in IE it was all the same.

@Elle:

No e-mail has arrived yet.

@Rashed:

You're welcome!

Be sure to check your template with more than 6 comments in Internet Explorer. It breaks my template with more than 6 comments there but looks fine in FireFox. Not sure how to fix this.

Very good site, excellent content, I will recommend to my group of readers in the university, I found very interesting article on the internet, including this ... I will leave an input ----> The Antique Autos are considerate real treasures and many people pay a lot for them,? the quality of a good antique autos especially the classic ford cars represent many money, are a exception of the rule because can have higher prices in the market, the antique autos are a good option for some part of the society like the classic ford cars too, that meaning power, and position in a society that every day need it more of course, and the antique cars or classic ford cars like for example the Buick classic, the classic corvettes.
