How to number comments in Blogger/BlogSpot

In the last tutorial i showed you how you can add a comment bubble to blogger posts titles. But this Blogger hack will add numbers with a cool speech bubble in all the comments in your blog. Each number will be linked to that comment so that you & your readers can use these numbers and corresponding links to mention or point a particular comment on any of your posts.

This works only with previous blogger commenting system, therefore if you want to add this hack, you should first remove Blogger threaded comments. Learn here How to remove Blogger threaded comments


UPDATE! Now you can add comment bubble to your threaded comments too. Please read this post: Numbered Comments On Threaded Comments for Blogger/Blogspot
