Google announced today that it brings Google+ comment box to Blogger blogs. Peoples who are using Google+ as their default instead of Blogger profile, they can add Google+ comments to their blogs. Google+ Comments look similar to traditional Blogger comments, but have some important differences. Check below to know important features of Google+ comments.
Features of Google+ Comments:
- When leaving a comment on a blog, you have an option to whether share that comment to Google+ or not.
- Google+ posts that link to blog posts will show up as a comment underneath those blog posts
- If comment is shared on Google+, all replies to the comment on the Google+ stream will show up in blog as a comment replies and vice versa.
- If a comment is not shared with the blog author, the blog author will not be able to see the comment in either location.
- As the author of a post, you’ll receive Google+ notifications when readers comment on or share your blog post.
- Google+ posts that link to blog posts will show up as a comment.
- You can view your blog and Google+ comments, all in one place.
- It will helps your readers to connect with their Google circles.
How to Add Google+ Comments:
- Go to your Blogger dashboard
- Click on the small arrow then select Google+ in drop down menu (remember you should use Google+ as your default profile instead of Blogger profile)

Incase Google+ comments are not working on your blog, don’t get terrified because you just need to tweak your template. Go to Blogger.com >> Template >> Edit HTML >> Format Template. Now within the template coding, search for <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'> and just below it paste the following coding. Once everything is done, save the template.
<div class='cmt_iframe_holder'
expr:data-href='data:post.canonicalUrl'
expr:data-viewtype='data:post.viewType'/>
Note: If you find "<b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>" code more than once ,you need to add the above code Before all those codes.!
