Spice Up Your Blog Threaded Comment Style For Blogger

picresized_1377860247_spice-up-your-blog-comment-styles

I have received a lot of Emails and comments over the last year or so asking about the comments we use here on Spice Up Your Blog.When Blogger introduced threaded comments early last year I wanted a bright looking comment section with the authors comments easy to distinguish from readers comments.

The solution we came up with using some simple CSS adds some cool style to the comment and avatars as well as showing the author comment (That would be your comments on your blog) in a different color.We also overlap the commenter name with their avatar.All unique features for Blogger comments and originally for Spice Up Your Blog but so many have copied it without permission I though we might as well share it with all our readers.

The comments are almost the exact same as you see here on SUYB with some subtle differences so you can see exactly how it will look on your blog by checking out the demo below and scrolling to the comments.

Add Comment Style To Your Blog

Step 1. – In Your (New Design) Blogger Dashboard Click The Drop Down Menu For Your Blog > Choose Customize > Advanced > Add Css, as shown in the video below.

Step 2. Copy and Paste the following code into the Css Section then click Apply To Blog.

@font-face { font-family: 'Philosopher'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; src: local('Philosopher'), url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/philosopher/v4/OttjxgcoEsufOGSINYBGLYbN6UDyHWBl620a-IRfuBk.woff) format('woff'); } .comment .avatar-image-container { border: 1px solid #B6B6B6; max-height: 70px !important; margin-top: -5px; width: 70px !important; position: relative; z-index: 50; } .comment .comment-block { margin-left: 75px !important; } .comment .comment-header { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #A9F5D0; color: #333; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; margin-left: 60px; } .comment .comment-header a { color: white !important; text-decoration: none; } .comment .comment-content { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FEFFF9; border-bottom: 2px solid #E6E6E6; font-size: 14px; margin: 0 0 30px; padding: 5px 5px 10px 10px; } .comment .comment-actions a { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #DDD; color: #333; display: inline-block; line-height: 1; margin: 0 3px; padding: 3px 6px !important; text-decoration: none; } .comment .comment-actions a { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #DDD; color: #333; display: inline-block; line-height: 1; margin: 0 3px; padding: 3px 6px !important; text-decoration: none; } .comment-header cite { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #DF7401; border: 1px solid white; color: white; padding: 2px 20px; position: relative; z-index: 99; margin-left: -20px; } cite.blog-author { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #8181F7 !important; } .icon.blog-author { display: none !important; background: url("") no-repeat scroll 0 0; margin-left: 90px; width: 60px !important; height: 60px !important; position: absolute; right: 5px; bottom: 5px; top: 10px; } .comment .comment-header { color: #333; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; } .comment .avatar-image-container img { border: medium none !important; height: 70px !important; width: 70px !important; max-height: 70px !important; max-width: 70px !important; } .comment .comment-actions a { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #DDD !important; color: #333 !important; display: inline-block !important; line-height: 1 !important; margin: 0 3px !important; padding: 3px 6px !important; text-decoration: none !important; font-size:16px; } .comment .comment-actions a:hover { background: #CCC !important; text-decoration: none !important; } .comments { font-family: 'Philosopher', arial, serif !important; font-size: 1em; color: black; } .comments .continue a { display: block !important; font-weight: bold !important; padding: .5em !important; color:#E34600; font-size:16px; } .comments .continue a:hover {color:#4D3123;text-decoration:none;} .item-control { display: none !important; } .comments .continue { border-top: 2px solid transparent !important; } .comments .comments-content .icon.blog-author{position:absolute;top:-1px;right:-12px;background-image:url(http://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/crystalproject/16x16/apps/keditbookmarks.png);width:36px;height:36px;margin:0}
