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

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

They simply replaced the vague 0 comment count, that was originally business office of the link to the comment form, amongst 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 intend I don't desire comments, what tin I do?

I intend the sometime 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 practice I supplant "No Comments" amongst something to a greater extent than reader friendly?

And the showtime interrogation needs to be

Are yous comfortable amongst editing the template?

This tin last a rather forbidding question, to some weblog owners.

If yous don't similar "No Comments" (or whatever local linguistic communication variant your weblog uses), yous tin supplant the "No comments" caption amongst whatsoever phrase that pleases you.

This may last improve if your reader population is concentrated around 1 linguistic communication - in addition to if yous 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, every bit "post.commentLabelFull", inwards pre "Responsive" degree themes.

You volition desire to abide by

<data:post.commentLabelFull/>:

in addition to supplant it with

Dude, striking me amongst a comment!

Or whatever friendly greeting yous convey inwards mind.

Here's the theme code, from my weblog 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 yous 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, striking me amongst a comment!     </a>   </b:if> 

Search diligently! Some templates may convey to a greater extent than than 1 representative of

<data:post.commentLabelFull/>:

With "Responsive" degree themes, yous volition similarly abide by "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 yous backup the template - earlier in addition to afterward yous brand this change.

Just delight proceed inwards take away heed that yous volition last editing the postal service template - in addition to the postal service template is subject to update, past times Blogger. If your alter causes a problem, yous may halt upwards having to reset the postal service template, in addition to start over.
