Adding a bubble comment counter in blogger

Comments are always seen as an important factor in the success of your blog. Users normally comments on your blog to appreciate author of that post, or to ask questions. One way to judge the popularity of the post is to see the number of comments post has received and for that you need to put comment counter on your blogger blog. In this article I will be explaining you how to add beautiful bubble comment counter to blogger blog.

How to Add Beautiful Bubble Comment Counter to Blogger Blog

Login to your blogger blog and select the blog from your blog dashboard. Now select template >> edit html.

Step 2

Click in the template code area and press ctlr + F5 to open search box and type the following code in the search box.

]]></b:skin>

Step 4

Once the above code is added to the template, search for the code below

Now add the following code immediately after this code.
