How to edit Comment Settings in Blogger New Interface

Comments play a vital part in your blog’s readability, interactivity, and reliability. However, there are bad people who just want to spam links on comments in order to take your visitors away from your site. This opens the need of moderating comments in your blog. While Blogger has an automatic comment spam detection system, it would be better to set-up your own prevention measures. You can also enhance the comment feature of your blog for your avid readers.

How to edit comment location:

Go to Settings menu in the left side of the new Blogger Interface. Click the Post and Comments option.

You have four options for this. First, if you want the comment box embedded below every blog post, you choose this one. Second, if you want a separate full page for the comment box on every blog post, you choose the second option. Third, if you want the comment box to pop-up if someone wants to comment, you can choose the third option. Lastly, if you do not want comments, you choose Hide comment box.

How to choose the people who can comment:

You can choose whether anybody could comment, or just registered users (people with OpenID account), or just users with Google accounts, or just the members of your blog (only the people whom you invited through emails).

How to control comment moderation:

If you choose Always, this means you will need to moderate all comments every time they are made. You can also choose Sometimes depending on how old the post is. Moreover, if you are lazy enough, you can choose Never (Beware of Spammers).

How to show word verification:

You can choose YES in order to display CAPTCHA verification before someone could submit his or her comments. This can help prevent spammers in using robots for posting automated comments.

How to show the sites that links to your post:

This feature enables you to display automatically the links of those sites that have a link to your post. You can choose from SHOW or HIDE. Showing back-links may help you monitor those people who recommend your posts but the may also grab your visitor’s attention.

How to edit the comment form message:

This is where you could put rules, notes, or instructions on how to comment. You can also put some HTML codes in here to enhance the commenting feature of your blog. Just click the ADD link and paste whatever you want in the box.

NOTE: Always click the Save Settings button above in order to apply the changes.
