Organise your comments with numbers

What is the happiest thing that can happen to an average blogger?..8-> yes.. you guessed it right.. to get some comments for the post Imagine how thrilled you were when you got the first comment for your first post..Then came a time you started receving comments (users with names and also anonymous users) and you were trying to reply to the a certain comment and got misunderstood by a different commentor… left you wondery why 😕

How about numbering the comments so that you can say exactly to which (rather whose) comment you are refering to..Still confused with waht I am saying.. I suggest that you click on any of the posts so that the post opens in a diffrent window along with the comments displayed..See any diffrence..The comments are all numbered

Want to know how i did this..Read along

1. :-B SAVE AND BACKUP YOUR TEMPLATE :-B
2. LOCATE THE FOLLOWING LINES IN THE TEMPLATE
   STEP-1
   <dl id=’comments-block’>
   <b:loop values=’data:post.comments’ var=’comment’>
   <dt class=’comment-author’ expr:id='”comment-” + data:comment.id’>
   
3. You need to add the tags shown in RED so that the final code looks like this
   <dl id=’comments-block’>
   <ol>
   <b:loop values=’data:post.comments’ var=’comment’>
   <li>
   <dt class=’comment-author’ expr:id='”comment-” + data:comment.id’>
   
4. LOCATE THE FOLLOWING LINES IN THE TEMPLATE
   STEP: 2
   <span class=’comment-timestamp’>
   <a expr:href='”#comment-” + data:comment.id’ title=’comment permalink’>
   <data:comment.timestamp/>
   <b:include data=’comment’ name=’commentDeleteIcon’/>
   </span>
   </dd>
   </b:loop>
