Looks like blogger has released a new feature, where in users can comment on a blog from the same page. They will not be redirected to a separate blogger style page. Full story here.

This is really a great feature. This will make the user experience uniform across the whole blog. The comments section can now gel with the post.

I had actually searched a lot for a blogger templates which has this feature. This feature is readily available in all the WordPress templates.

Unfortunately this has broken the Commenting feature in the iTheam blogger template I use :( .

To fix the issue I had to change “Comment Form Placement” setting to “Pop-up Window” which enables the old style commenting.

Blogger Dashboard -> {Blog Name} -> Settings -> comments -> Comment Form Placement.

Will try / search for a better fix till then “Old is Gold”.
