Many blogger friends asked me how to show threaded comments in Blogspot just like in the Wordpress. Surely that question is interesting and I decided to post the tutorials to show threaded comments now so anyone who search the same question get the answer from this post.
The threaded comments will provide you a reply button on every comments blog. For example if your visitors dropped a comment asking about a specific question, then you can directly respond him by hitting the Reply button on his comments blog. Just like in the following picture.
How to show threaded comments (reply buttons) in Blogger Blogspot post.
Step 1. Login to Blogger.com.

Step 3. Now find this tag ]]></b:skin> and paste the following code before it.

- At the line 18 from the above code, you will see the Blogger-Id like this.
<a expr:href='"https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=90113338580645433&postID=" + data:post.id + "&isPopup=true&postBody=%40%3C%61%20%68%72%65%66%3D%22%23" + data:comment.anchorName + "%22%3E" + data:comment.author + "%3C%2F%61%3E#form"' onclick='javascript:window.open(this.href, "bloggerPopup", "toolbar=0,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=500"); return false;'>Reply</a>
- Change the red numbers with your own Blogger Id. Where to find your Blogger-Id? It's simple, just point your eyes at your Browser address when you are at your Blogger Dashboard, Layout, etc. See the picture below.
- After you found your Blogger-Id now copy it from your browser then replace the read numbers with your own Blogger-Id.
- Now you can save your template.
