Today as I opened my email account, one message catch my
attention entitled “Bringing Google+ Comments to Blogger” which seems to be good
news for us Blogger platform users. Reading the message makes me excited to try
these new features on Blogger. As I sat down in front of my computer, I
hurriedly tested this Google+ comments integration to Blogger as it just a
click away to add this comment box of blog.
Adding Google+ Comments to Blogger Comment Box
To add the Google Plus comments to Blogger you must first
upgrade your Blogger profile to Google+ . Upgrading your profile to Google+ is
so easy, just login to your Blogger account and on your dashboard go to Google+ then click ‘Get Started’.
Things to take note before enabling or adding Google+
Comment on your blog.
1.If your use third party commenting platform like Facebook
and Disqus those comments will not be retained once you use Google+ Comments.
To default Blogger commenting platform users, your comments will be taken to
this new widget and remain intact.
2.’Comment as’ options are not available in Google+ comments.
Readers and viewers who want to post comment on your blog need to create a
Google account. It means no more Livejournal, Wordpress, Typepad, AIM, OpenID,
Name/URL and Anonymous commenter on you blog.
3.For those who are using custom or premium templates there
is a tendency that this Google+ comments widget will not work properly. Google
provide a piece of code for you to try on your template.
<div class='cmt_iframe_holder'
expr:data-href='data:post.canonicalUrl'
expr:data-viewtype='data:post.viewType'/>
4. The Google+ comments won’t work on private blogs.
How to enabler Google Plus Comments on your Blogger Blogger
Sign in to your Blogger account, on your Blogger dashboard click Google+ then
tick ‘Use Google+ Comments on this blog’ located right beside your Google+
profiles.
Testing Google+ comments
Enabling this Google+ comments on my Blogger adds a decent clean
look as my blog uses only a default Blogger comment platform. You can choose
where to share your comments and all things happen on your Google profile. A
notification is received when someone share or comments on your blog post. For
more Google+ features, you may see this post here.
Here’s what I noticed about this new Blogger Google+
comments, on your Posts dashboard you will notice an automatic addition 1 comment
once you shared your post to your Google+ profile.
Once Google+ comments is enable, previous ‘Anonymous’
comments is not counted on you Post dashboard but it will still remain in
Google+ comment box. Only those who post using a Google+ profile will counted
and indicated on dashboard. See image below.
