Embedded comment form for Blogger blogs

I’ve just read a good news from Blogger Buzz - the embedded comment form is brought out of Blogger In Draft and now is available to everyone. This is probably the most requested feature for Blogger, and I’m sure many of you will want to use this straight away! This feature puts the comment form at the bottom of each post page, below the comments, instead of on the separate, Blogger-styled page.
The embedded comment form is more convenient for your readers because they can use it to post a comment immediately, without clicking over to a different page.
Features of the embedded comment form
“Comment as”: Choose your profile when commenting. You can use your Google account, OpenID, Name/URL and all of the settings previously available when using a pop-up or full page comment form (depending on the settings you have chosen).
“Preview” button: Preview your comment before it is published
“Subscribe” link: If you’re logged in to Blogger with your Google Account, you can also subscribe to comments via email by clicking the “Subscribe” link. You don’t need to post a comment to subscribe
How to enable the embedded comment form
To enable the embedded comment form for your blog, go to the Settings -> Comments page and look for the Comment Form Placement setting. Change it to Embedded below post, save your settings, and go check out a post to see the new form in action.
That’s it. If you are using one of my customized Blogger Templates, you will need to do NOTHING more to your template code for this comment form to display 
Try it and let me know what you think of this new feature by leaving your comments below.

I am already using this feature since it was available in Blogger draft.
I am using Intense Debate instead.. because of the threaded comment function… much more better
Intense debate is better as we have number of functionalities including importing and exporting of comments.
They stopped accepting new registrations as they are moving on to Automatic servers after purchase. I hope soon this feature will be available as default comment system in wordpress .
Applied on my own blog, good job from Blogger
Useful tips but I have already experienced it.Anyway best of luck for you.
cool widget but unfortunately does not work on my blog; /
Just selecting ‘Embedding under comment form’ doesn’t work. It needs some code modification.
Amanda had written a great tutorial on how to apply embedded comment on blogger blog.

Actually it does work, no need to add any code to your template because Blogger team updated the code for you.
I’ve tested on 10 of my custom template and it worked!
I am already using this feature since it was available in Blogger draft.
Thanks you
i have heard about it for a long time. it’s amazing
Any other better “comment management”?
A much awaited improvement
That’s a nice article. I have a question, can we have a checkbox to subscribe to comments (like this site), or change the original text of ‘Subscribe by e-mail’?
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work on my customized template. If I add/remove/change code to get it working, some other problem comes up (like when I disable comments for a post, there’s still the words “post a comment” and a space that the comment form would occupy).
Well, it’s a customized template. Authors might delete those code …
All right, Thanks for the info.
Found your website after looking at the source of one template. You have some very nice templates. I am glad I found this post.
that’s pretty much simply… nice…
thanks for the tips…
Thanks to you for introducing this feature.
Also thanks to e-spice for that link.
yey!! thanks for the info
