Change Post A Comment - Link and Text From Blogger/BlogSpot Blogs

From To

If you think that the phrase "Post A Comment" looks too old on your blog, then here's a simple hack to replace it with your own words.

If you are not using the embedded comment form, then there will be a link "Post A Comment" on your blog. And if you are using the embedded comment form in your blog, then there wouldn't be a "Post A Comment" link in your blog, But you it will be present as simple TEXT, just above the comment box.

To replace the phrase, follow these steps:
Log in to Blogger.com, then go to Layout and click on Edit HTML tab.

Now mark the Expand Widget Templates

Find (CTRL+F) these code (RED) lines in your template code:
<a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a>
and this one too:
<h4 id='comment-post-message'><data:postCommentMsg/></h4>

Now replace the code in RED color, with whatever text you want, like "Sign The Guest book" etc.

And to use any other font/image instead of simple text, create a small image with your new message, upload it to Tinypic to get the DIRECT LINK to this image.
Now replace the code highlighted in RED color with this code:
<img src="http://tinypic.com/***/DIRECT_LINK_TO_YOUR_NEW_IMAGE.jpg"/>
and finally save the template.
