Log into your Blogger account.
Go to SETTINGS >> COMMENTS
You'll see a variety of options on this page. The one we need to check is the "Comment Form Placement". There are three choices:
- Full Page: this is where your comments/comment box are on the one page
- Pop-Up: this is when you click on "post a comment" and the comments open in a small pop-up window
- Embedded below post: this is where the comment loads/displays under the blog post being commented on.
If you have selected "Embedded below post" and yet, your comments do not seem to be working - follow these instructions to ensure they work.
1) Go to LAYOUT >> EDIT HTML
2) Back up your current template by clicking on "Download Full Template" (you should always back up your template/widgets before making any changes).
3) Under the big box of html code, you will see a link which says "Revert widget templates to default". Click this link. A pop up will appear which says
"This will discard all changes to widget templates. Your widget data will remain unchanged. Continue?"
Click "OK"
Refresh your blog and you will now see that the comments form is now embedded within your blog like this, underneath the corresponding blog post (it's a lot more streamlined and doesn't have the "Blogger" appearance that the pop-up and "whole page" comments forms do ie: they're not bright orange).

This will fix the issue.
Good luck.

Dr Abdul: sorry, I have no idea why it still wouldn't work after trying that. Perhaps something weird is happening in your XML (you're not using one of my templates so I don't really know what they've got in the code -- go and ask the author of that template?).
Oh brilliant! Thank you so much for this fix. I didn't even realise it wasn't working until a friend asked why she couldn't comment, I just thought no-one had anything to say! Thanks! xx
I followed these instructions and my comments work in all cases EXCEPT if you select "Google Account" in which case nothing happens and you can't comment. Since "Google Account" is one the main choices someone would select I really would like to have this fixed. Any ideas? (I'm using the Change Me) template which is great in all other respects. Thanks!

Hi Sharnee (this is a copy from my reply to your comment on my own site). I have noticed that if I am already logged into Google the comment works fine. The issue seems to be if I am logged out of Google the selection of "Google Account" does not allow me to log in.
Marylin: it seems to have worked for me. I used Safari that I wasn't logged into any google account and it asked me for my log in and posted my comment. Weird.
Hi Sharnee. I wasn't able to find any specific help for this issue. It's not just me that has this problem - I was told by multiple friends that they were unable to select the Google Account option if they weren't already logged into Google. I changed my comments to pop-up and it seems to work all the time - whether i'm logged in or not. As far as I know the people who all had issues were using IE - perhaps that is where the issue lies. It is too bad that the template doesn't seem to work with the embedded comments in all cases.
